A reliable leaker has revealed Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream as a second title for April's PlayStation Plus Essential games. It joins the previously leaked Lords of the Fallen from 2023. Sony has yet to confirm the lineup officially.
Dealabs user Billbil-kun, known for reliable leaks, disclosed that Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream will feature in April's PlayStation Plus Essential tier. The game, released in 2024, marks the 10th anniversary of the Sword Art Online series and includes 21 characters in solo, story, and online modes supporting up to 20 players in challenging fights. It received mixed reviews upon launch, as reported by Eurogamer.net on March 30, 2026. This follows last week's leak of Lords of the Fallen, the 2023 Hexworks-developed Souls-like action-RPG, distinguishing it from the 2014 original. Sony typically announces monthly PlayStation Plus lineups soon, replacing March's games: PGA Tour 2K25, Monster Hunter Rise, Slime Rancher 2, and The Elder Scrolls Online Collection: Gold Road. Subscribers should claim March titles promptly if interested.
