PlayStation Plus Dropping Free Trilogy With 100+ Hour Playtime

PlayStation Plus users will be able to pick up a trilogy of games later this month which could take you up to 100 hours to finish.

As we reported yesterday, Sony has revealed the new games that will be hitting PlayStation Plus Essential in April.

From 7 April, PlayStation Plus users can pick up Sword Art Online: Fractured Daydream, Lords of the Fallen, and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered.

Released in 2024, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft (that’s quite the wordy title) is a remastered compilation of the first three Tomb Raider games.

Consisting of Tomb Raider from 1996, Tomb Raider II from 1997, and Tomb Raider III from 1998, the games were remastered by Aspyr and Crystal Dynamics with a fresh graphical update, new controls, and support for modern platforms.

The remasters were generally well received, with lots of praise aimed at the inclusion of both modern controls alongside the classic ‘tank’ movement system, as well as the new graphics which retained the classic style but in a modern capacity.

In addition to the three main games, the collection also features three bonus expansions: Unfinished Business, The Golden Mask, and The Lost Artifact.

Using numbers from How Long To Beat, a website which tracks user-submitted completion times for video games, we can estimate just how long it’ll take to beat each individual game from the collection, plus the expansions. Here’s the breakdown of how long each title is:

• Tomb Raider I – 17 hours
• Tomb Raider II – 18 hours
• Tomb Raider III – 23 hours
• Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business – 5 hours
• Tomb Raider: The Golden Mask – 5 hours
• Tomb Raider: The Lost Artifact – 6 hours

For an average playthrough, this adds up to 74 hours. However, taking completionist times into account, plus the newly released Challenge Mode which is slowly being fixed by patches since it was released in a poor state last month, you could easily stretch this number to over 100 hours of play.

Tomb Raider I-III Remastered, along with the other two titles being added onto PlayStation Plus Essential, will be available from 7 April until 4 May.
