"Solve a galactic anomaly, tear up the racetrack, catalog alien fauna and play eco-warrior with April’s PlayStation Now lineup. Choose to tackle the Outer Wilds, drive your way to glory in WRC 10 FIA World Rally Championship, survive your Journey to the Savage Planet, or protect your lands in Werewolf The Apocalypse – Earthblood from tomorrow, April 5, when the titles join PlayStation Now."
