Sony has adapted several identifiable patterns and strategies with PS Plus over the years, but it seems intent on breaking those traditions now. For example, the PS Plus games released in March tend to be some of the best every year, with Bloodborne being a prime example of a game given away in March. However, while the PS Plus free games for March 2023 were solid, they didn't hold a candle to the past. At the same time, PS Plus' free games for April 2023 had to live down that past too—because they often followed major games, the best games given away in April, historically, may have been good but never great.
