The PS Plus Essential games for March 2023 leave the service in April 2023. One of the three PS5 and PS4 titles made our best PS Plus games list, so go and claim all three 'free' PS Plus games before they leave on April 3rd, 2023.

March 2023 PS Plus games leaving this week

PlayStation Plus Essential games added three PS5 and PS4 games for March 2023, but now they will be removed as their month on the service expires on April 3rd, 2023. You can go and download them now if you subscribe to PS Plus Essential, as can any subscriber at the PS Plus Extra and Premium tier. If you are a member of the higher tiers, you have ten other PlayStation Plus leaving games for April 2023, along with the three listed below.

It's worth noting that if you claim these games now, as even when they leave the PS Plus Essential tier for the PS Plus Essential games for April 2023 you will be able to keep them forever. If any of the three games below come to PS Plus Extra or Premium, don't claim them again — the Essential game licence gets overwritten by the Extra license. When the game gets removed from the Extra service, you'd lose access to the game rather than keep it forever.
