As is so often the case ahead of an official confirmation from Sony, the duo of free PlayStation Plus games for next month appear to have leaked early.
A promotional screenshot found its way onto gaming forum Resetera before popping up on Twitter. If genuine, PlayStation Plus subscribers could be looking forward to an excellent spread for May. The leak suggests Dying Light and Dark Souls Remastered are next months freebies.
The remaster of From Softwares iconic Dark Souls needs no introduction and should please first-timers and veterans alike. While not having the same cult following as Dark Souls, Dying Light offers a decent take on the zombie trope and remains popular five-years on from release.
Before we get our hopes up, the leaked screenshot features some glaring issues that gnaw away at its legitimacy.
First off, the quality of the image leaves a lot to desired and lacks the crispness youd expect. Furthermore, the composition is a far cry from the clean-cut style weve grown accustomed to from PS Plus, notably the busy background.
Secondly, the fonts used in the screenshot appear different to those habitually featured on PS Plus promotional shots. In particular, the Active membership required to access free content small print employs a decidedly different font.
Consequently, we recommend approaching this one with a salt shaker at the ready and to manage expectations accordingly.
As for when we can expect PlayStation to confirm or disprove the leak, then this week is likely based on previous announcement habits with an estimated availability date of May 5.
In the meantime, Aprils PlayStation Plus games Uncharted 4: A Thiefs End and DIRT Rally 2.0 are up for grabs until May 4.
