Today we got word of the titles coming to PlayStation Now for April 2021 and it’s a pretty surprising lineup. We get an interesting mix of critically acclaimed indie, AAA looter shooter, and then probably one of the most divisive games-as-a-service titles currently available right now.

The Long Dark is a thoughtful, exploration-survival experience that challenges solo players to think for themselves as they explore an expansive frozen wilderness in the aftermath of a geomagnetic disaster. There are no zombies — only you, the cold, and all the threats Mother Nature can muster.
Borderlands 3: The original shooter-looter returns, packing bazillions of guns and a mayhem-fueled adventure! Blast through new worlds and enemies as one of four new Vault Hunters, each with deep skill trees, abilities, and customization. Play solo or with friends to take on insane enemies, score loads of loot and save your home from the most ruthless cult leaders in the galaxy. Play with anyone at any time online or in split-screen co-op, regardless of your level or mission progress.
Marvel’s Avengers is an epic, third-person, action-adventure game that combines an original, cinematic story with single-player and cooperative gameplay. In a future with Super Heroes outlawed, a young Kamala Khan must reassemble the Avengers to stop AIM. Marvel’s Avengers continues the epic journey with new Heroes and new narrative delivered on an ongoing basis, for the definitive Avengers gaming experience. Assemble into a team of up to four players online, master extraordinary abilities, customize a growing roster of Heroes, and defend the Earth from escalating threats.
This month we have The Long Dark which is definitely one that may have flown under your radar but absolutely one to check out if you’re into intense and emotional narratives coupled with survival elements. There’s also the ever-popular Borderlands 3 if you’re in the mood for a looter shooter to play with friends. It may not be as good as some of the other entries in the series but still a very good time.
Now we have the elephant in the room. The most surprising inclusion this month is surely Marvel’s Avengers. This game has had a very rocky go of this since launch and has not stopped being the target of extremely warranted criticisms. Maybe it joining the PlayStation Now collection will help its player base and then hopefully it can receive a few more fixes. Time will tell.
All three of these titles will be available on PlayStation Now tomorrow, April 6th.
