Sony has announced its PS Plus free games lineup for April 2022, and its certainly an eclectic mix of titles.

From April 5 to May 2, PS Plus subscribers can grab Hood: Outlaws and Legends ( PS5 and PS4 ), Slay the Spire (PS4), and SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated (PS4) for free.

It's certainly a mixed bag, in more than one way. Intense online multiplayer Hood: Outlaws and Legends heads up April's offering and sees players competing with rival gangs in heists against a medieval backdrop. Hood isn't exactly the showstopper PS5 game we were hoping to see from Sony this month (remember when the likes of Destiny 2 and Days Gone headed up the PS Plus lineup?) but it's worth giving a try, especially with friends.

Next, we have SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, a remake of the original 2003 platformer. At the mere mention of Spongebob, some of you will have either cringed or lit up in delight. But whether you're a fan of the cheery sea sponge or not, Battle for Bikini Bottom is actually a very good game that will scratch the itch for those who love a good PS2 / Xbox era platformer.

Last, but certainly not least, we have the critically-acclaimed deck builder, Slay the Spire, which sits proudly on our best roguelike games and best Xbox Game Pass games lists. Mega Crit Games' excellent title takes elements from both roguelike and deck-building games to create an experience that will please fans of both genres and suck in those who think its not for them.

If you still haven't claimed your March PS Plus free games yet, which include Ark: Survival Evolved, Team Sonic Racing, Ghostrunner, and Ghost of Tsushima: Legends, see this as a reminder to do so – as they are only available until April 4.

Changes are coming to PS Plus

Sony's next PS Plus free game offering comes shortly after the company announced plans to revamp the subscription service to compete with Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass .

This overhauled PlayStation Plus subscription combines the PS Plus and PS Now (which will no longer be available standalone) services and will be available in three tiers. The lowest tier offers the current benefits of PS Plus, while the highest tier allows access to a library of retro PlayStation games – among other perks.

This new subscription service isn't due to roll out for a few months yet, and current PS Plus subscribers won't see any changes to their monthly free games or pricing when it does roll out (unless they upgrade their tier).

We're just excited to see Sony finally revamping its somewhat stale subscription service, especially if that means we can play more old school platformers like Bikini Bottom.

The cheapest Xbox controller deals in May 2022

There may be very few cheap Xbox controller deals outside of bigger sales events but if you're looking to buy a new gamepad you can find today's best prices right here. The latest generation Xbox Wireless Controller is now in the wild following the launch of the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S , so the older Xbox One model has slowly disappeared from sale. Unfortunately, that's forced prices back up.

Consoles only ship with one Xbox controller these days, which can be frustrating if you like to have a spare charged up, keep one ready for multiplayer use, or pair one with a PC in a different room. That means a second controller is often the first accessory to be bought, but don't let the high price put you off.

Retailers may rarely lower the price of a new Xbox controller, but if you know where to look, you can usually shave a few dollars or pounds off the price. All you need to do is scroll down and we've shown you exactly where to find the best Xbox controller deals right now. All major color options are featured too, so you can pick the one that suits your style for your Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, Xbox One or PC.

Not got a console yet? Here's our hub that tracks where to buy the Xbox Series X throughout the year, including all the latest news and rumours from the major retailers. And if you want something to play with your new controller, why not browse all the latest Xbox game deals or find the cheap Xbox Game Pass deals ?

The original Xbox Elite Wireless controller has now been discontinued, with the Series 2 taking up its place on the shelves. You pay a considerable premium to play with the turbo-charged gamepad here, but this controller comes with more customization options, adjustable trigger settings and a built-in wireless charging battery.

How to find a cheap Xbox controller

Cheap Xbox controllers can be difficult to find outside of major sales events like Black Friday or Amazon Prime Day . However, we do see sales popping up throughout the year that can save you some serious cash on a spare gamepad. Whether they're discounts direct from Microsoft or part of a wider sale at Best Buy, Walmart or Amazon, the comparison charts above will point you towards the cheapest Xbox controller prices available right now.

If you want to take a look for yourself, you'll find all the best retailers for finding a cheap Xbox controller deal in either the US or UK just below.

Cheap Xbox controller alternatives

If you don't want to spend the $40-$50 / £40 - £50 on an official Xbox controller, you can find cheaper third party options on the market. You're not getting the full sensitivity of the newer gamepads here, and you may be losing a little of that super fast connection in the Core models as well, but if you just need a way to push some buttons we'd recommend checking out PowerA and PDP's options as well.

However, if you're going for something a little more technical, the Razer Wolverine controller offers greater customization than the standard Xbox controller for a slightly higher price as well.

Moon Knight episode 4 ending explained

Major spoilers follow for Moon Knight episode 4.

Moon Knight episode 4 has landed on Disney Plus – and we suspect you have plenty of questions about what went down in those surreal last 15 minutes.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Marvel Phase 4 project's latest episode, with numerous journalists and websites – ourselves included – hinting that something major would go down in Moon Knight episode 4. We teased as much in our spoiler-free review and, now that the episode is out in the wild, you can clearly see why we were excited for you to see it.

Still, there's a lot that happens in those final few moments of episode 4, so you may need a recap of what happened. You might also be baffled about who that Egyptian hippo goddess is, how the episode's final scenes were inspired by Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight comic series, what executive producer Grant Curtis teased to us about the show's final two entries and more. Allow us, then, to be your guide on Moon Knight episode 4's ending.

This is your final warning: we're about to dive into major spoilers for Moon Knight episode 4 . If you haven't watched it yet, bookmark this page and re-open it once you've seen the Disney Plus show's latest entry.

Taking inspiration from Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight comics

Let's recap what actually happens in the last act of Moon Knight episode 4 first.

As you'll know – providing you've seen the episode, of course, but why would you still be here if you haven't? – Marc Spector/Steven Grant is shot and seemingly killed by Arthur Harrow. This incident takes place in the tomb of Alexander the Great, but we'll dig into the importance of this iconic historical figure in another section.

Wait, why can Marc/Steven be hurt now when he couldn't in episode 3? He (or, rather, they) were previously protected by Khonshu's healing bandages, hence why mortal weapons couldn't hurt them. With Khonshu imprisoned by the other Egyptian gods in episode 3, though, he isn't around to help Marc/Steven anymore, which is why the duo can be wounded or even killed.

So it looks like Marc/Steven are dead. That is, until episode 4 pulls a surreal U-turn (around the 38:00 mark) and shows a TV displaying a low budget, action-adventure movie starring someone called Doctor Steven Grant. The camera pulls back to reveal that Marc Spector is seemingly a patient at a psychiatric hospital. Layla is one of Marc's fellow in-patients, while Arthur Harrow is later revealed to be the chief psychologist in charge of running the establishment.

Confused? Well, it's a weird and unsettling 180-degree spin on the part of Moon Knight's creative team. But there's precedent for something like this in Marvel comics – and, in particular, Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight series run.

The Canadian comic book writer helped to reboot the caped vigilante in 2016, with the opening issues of Lemire's run revealing that Marc (who is suffering from amnesia) has been sectioned under the mental health act for believing he's the superhero known as Moon Knight. The psychiatric hospital in question is run by a Doctor Emmet, who just happens to be the conduit for the Egyptian god Ammit.

You don't need us to point out the similarities between Lemire's comic series and what you've just seen in episode 4 (and the show's other episodes up to this point). It won't be a total surprise for you to learn that Lemire's run was a major influence on the TV show as a whole, too. Aaron Moorhead and Justin Benson – directors on episodes 2 and 4 – have previously spoken about how Lemire's run inspired the aesthetic and tone of Moon Knight's latest entry, and episode 4 proves it.

So, what else happens in Moon Knight episode 4? Long story short, Marc ends up meeting Arthur Harrow in his office, with the latter trying to convince Marc that Khonshu, Moon Knight, and everything else is a by-product of his Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). However, Marc refuses to believe him and, after escaping the clutches of his handlers, looks for a way out of the hospital.

Things only get more trippy from here on out. For one, Marc encounters a locked sarcophagus, in a room that he hides in, with someone trying to break out – and it's Steven! The pair's joyful reunion is quickly cut short, though, as they realize that they need to escape. That's not before Steven questions why the pair can physically exist in the same room for the first time ever, which only adds to the uncertainty that all of these events are playing out inside Marc/Steven's head.

Not long after their reunion, the duo come across another locked sarcophagus, with someone else trying to escape. Could the person (or identity) that's trapped inside be Jake Lockley, aka Marc/Steven's other persona? We certainly think so. His arrival was teased in episode 3 , after all, so don't be surprised if Lockley finally shows up in episode 5.

That reveal, though, will have to wait. The pair gingerly walk towards a set of double doors, which may be their ticket out of this place. To the surprise of Marc/Steven/viewers, though, an Egyptian hippo goddess – known as Tawaret – bursts through the door. She waves at them, says "hi", and Marc and Steven start screaming in shock. The screen cuts to black and the credits roll.

Who is Tawaret, the Egyptian hippo goddess?

Hang on – who is Tawaret? In ancient Egyptian religion, Tawaret (voiced by newcomer Antonia Salib) is the god of fertility and childbirth. She has no prior Marvel comic appearances either, so this officially marks Tawaret's inaugural appearance in any Marvel property.

Curiously, Tawaret's supposedly surprise appearance in Moon Knight had already been spoiled by Variety during Moon Knight's world premiere. Salib, who was invited to the MCU TV show's red carpet premiere in Los Angeles, spoke to Variety about her character, revealing that she was given the creative freedom to inform Tawaret's personality.

So, what role will Tawaret play in Moon Knight's final two episodes? Well, given that she's the goddess of fertility and childbirth, we suspect that she may help Marc/Steven escape and reunite them with their parents.

Thanks to more spoilers (cheers, Variety ...) on the Moon Knight red carpet, we already know that Marc's parents will appear in the show. Rey Lucas and Fernand Andrade confirmed that they would turn up as Elias and Wendy Spector in the TV series' final instalments. Who better, then, than to lead Elias and Wendy's DID-afflicted child back to them than the Egyptian goddess of, well, childbirth?

Why is Alexander the Great in Moon Knight episode 4?

Given everything that happens in Moon Knight episode 4's final 15 minutes, you may have completely forgotten about Alexander the Great's role in proceedings.

Before Harrow and his followers show up and attack Marc/Steven, the latter discovers that Ammit's Ushabti statue was hidden inside Alexander the Great before he was buried in his tomb. As Steven says, Alexander was the voice of Ammit, so it seems the former ruler of Macedonia was Ammit's avatar once upon a time. Well, in the MCU, at least.

Interestingly, Alexander the Great exists in the Marvel comic universe, too. He was the King of Macedonia in ancient Greece between 356 to 323 BC, so his inclusion in Moon Knight episode 4 isn't an original MCU storyline that acts as plot exposition for the superhero's Disney Plus show .

How will Moon Knight episode 4's ending impact the show's final instalments?

That remains to be seen. But, speaking exclusively to TechRadar ahead of Moon Knight's initial release on March 30, executive producer Grant Curtis revealed that there were plenty of other surprises to come in the show's final two episodes.

"I can't get into spoilers too much as you can imagine," Curtis told us. "But the one thing that was very important to [head writer] Jeremy Slater and the writers, from day one, was giving the audience a front row seat to what Mark and Steven were going through.

"I think that's what really comes through, especially episodes one and two, as Mark and Steven are learning to do this dance between each other. And, as Mark and Steven continue to unearth this mystery – as this narrative unfolds – I think the audience continues to guess as well. And I can promise you, they're going to be guessing until the final frame of this series."

Given the mind-bending entries that have come so far, we're guessing that Moon Knight episodes 5 and 6 will be as strange, supernatural-fuelled, and mystical as their predecessors. Curtis' comments only serve to hype them up even more, so here's hoping that Moon Knight's third act brings the show to a fitting end.
