Both Microsoft and Sony revealed the free games that are coming included in your ongoing subscriptions to both Xbox Live Gold (and Game Pass Ultimate) and PlayStation Plus for April 2022.
Both platforms are offering up vastly different freebies this month. I'd personally say that the real standout here is Slay the Spire, which will be included in your PlayStation Plus subscription. It's a unique blend of deck building with roguelike action. Even if you aren't someone that is huge on deck building games, like me, this one is still a ton of fun.
That said, let's take a look at the games that you will have access to starting with the Xbox and then the PlayStation.
Games with Gold
Another Sight | April 1-30
Switch between two characters – the intrepid teen Kit, and the mysterious red-furred cat Hodge, as you explore the late Victorian era London in this the steampunk fantasy platform adventure. With an emphasis on culture and character and packed with historical cameos, Another Sight focuses on the emotional development of the relationship between its two protagonists as they rely on each other to traverse the cleverly designed levels.
Hue | April 16 - May 15
Unlock a world of colors in this beautiful platform puzzler. Search through a gray world for your mother who has turned an impossible color due to the fracturing of the Annular Spectrum.

Outpost Kaloki X | April 1-15
