Hit game based on classic action film part of free PlayStation Plus offerings next month

PS Plus members seem to be delighted with the news.

This is 2023's Robocop: Rogue City, the first-person shooter game which features an original storyline based on the RoboCop films, with Peter Weller reprising his role as the titular character.

The description of the game from Sony reads: "Become the legendary part-man, part-machine, all cop hero and bring justice to the dangerous, crime-ridden streets of Old Detroit.

"With your powerful Auto-9 or one of a range of weapons available, eradicate criminals throughout this explosive first-person adventure. Your cyborg strength and cybernetic abilities can be upgraded as you progress, to make you an even more formidable law enforcement officer.

"Explore open areas and complete your objectives according to your own sense of justice. Finding evidence, interrogating suspects and maintaining public order are just some of your daily tasks as a police officer. But don’t take decisions lightly: your choices can determine the fate of citizens and the result of your mission.

"Your investigation leads you right into the heart of a shadowy conspiracy in an original story that takes place between RoboCop 2 and 3, with striking locations to explore and familiar faces to meet. Peter Weller, the original RoboCop actor, is even back on duty to voice the cybercop."

Upon release, the game was a hit with players and in terms of sales. A standalone expansion titled RoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is even scheduled to be released later in 2025.

PS Plus members seem delighted with the Robocop game coming to the service, with one writing on Reddit user writing: "Holy crap! Robocop is a good get."

Another added: "Robocop is worth the download, it’s neat," while a third said: "Yes! Was waiting on Robocop after it had that massive price drop not long ago."

Also coming to PS Plus in April is another 2023 game based on a classic film - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre on PS4 and PS5, as well Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory on PS4.

All three games will be available to PlayStation Plus members from April 1 until May 5. For more information, visit Sony's PlayStation Blog here.
