We're only a little way into March, but we now know multiplayer shooter, Dead Star will be one of April's free PlayStation Plus games.

Twitter user @BLAMdrew caught a notification after pre-ordering Dead Star on PlayStation 4. It says the game will be free for Plus members in April, so his pre-order has been refunded.

Dead Star was first announced by Retro Studios breakaway crew (and current ReCore devs), Armature Studio back in October. It's a multiplayer arcade shooter which reminds us of Geometry Wars, albeit with teams of up to 10 players battling it out.

In addition, a new mode called Escape Run was announced in December, which involves co-op players discovering a massive capital ship floating out in space, then piloting it home together.
