The game in the headline is Kena: Bridge of Spirits. Sony announced on April 12, 2023 that it would join the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for Extra and Premium subscribers on April 18, 2023. That is a historical announcement, not confirmation that the game is still available through the service today.
Which game was coming to PlayStation Plus?
It was Kena: Bridge of Spirits, an action-adventure game from Ember Lab. Sony’s announcement listed both the PS4 and PS5 versions for the Game Catalog.
The announcement described it as a story-driven adventure focused on exploration and fast-paced combat. Players control Kena, a young Spirit Guide searching an abandoned village for a sacred mountain shrine, and recruit small spirits called the Rot. The Rot help maintain balance by decomposing dead and rotting elements; players can also improve their abilities and use them to manipulate the environment.
Which PlayStation Plus tiers were included?
Sony announced the game for the Extra and Premium Game Catalog, with availability scheduled to begin April 18, 2023. It was not described in that announcement as an Essential monthly game. The announcement was published by Adam Michel, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Senior Director of Content Acquisition & Operations, on PlayStation.Blog on April 12, 2023.

Is Kena: Bridge of Spirits on PS Plus now?
The 2023 announcement establishes when the game was added, but it does not establish its current catalog status or availability in every region. Check the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog for your account’s region before subscribing or making plans to play it. Catalog availability can change, so the original announcement alone is not proof of current access.

If the game is not currently listed for your region and tier, buying it is a separate option. A PS5 physical-game listing exists, but current stock and price were not verified. Check the edition and platform before purchasing; owning a disc is separate from having access through PlayStation Plus.
