Sometimes when I play a game, I want a deep story that makes me feel connected to the characters. Other times, I want a nonsensical romp that allows me to shut my brain off and laugh for a minute. Squirrel with a Gun seems to be that kind of game. And good news, PlayStation Plus subscribers can play that game and others starting on April 21.

PlayStation Plus is Sony’s version of Xbox Game Pass, offering subscribers a large and constantly expanding library of games. PlayStation Plus has three tiers — Essential ($10 a month), Extra ($15 a month) and Premium ($18 a month) — which each give subscribers access to games. But only Extra and Premium tier subscribers can access the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, while Essential subscribers can access only the monthly games. 

Here are all the games Sony is adding to the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog in April. You can also check out the games all PS Plus subscribers can play until May 4.

Squirrel With a Gun

What more do I need to say about this game? You’re a squirrel, and you have a gun, making you potentially the most American woodland critter behind a bald eagle. After escaping a secret facility, you’re on the hunt for some acorns while you try to evade and defeat the Agents in this sandbox puzzle platformer game. You’ll find out how far our furry friend is willing to go to get their nut — acorns are nuts, get your mind out of the gutter.

Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered

Huge robotic dinosaur-looking machines are the dominant force in this award-winning action roleplaying game. You play as Aloy, a huntress who was cast out of the mountain-dwelling Nora tribe. In your search for answers about your past, you’ll encounter machine and human enemies, beautiful landscapes and a plan to reclaim the land once and for all.

Monster Train

Hell has frozen over, the celestial forces of heaven are coming to extinguish the last burning pyre, and it’s up to you to stop them. Monster Train is a unique roguelike deck builder that adds a twist by spreading your playing field out to three vertical areas. With over 250 cards to use and six different monster clans to call on, you’ll have plenty of ways to ward off your enemies and take back your home.

Other games coming to PlayStation Plus

Those are some of the games you’ll see on PlayStation Plus on April 21, and you’ll also see these games on the service at that time.

• Football Manager 26 Console
• The Casting of Frank Stone
• The Crew Motorfest
• Warriors: Abyss
• Wild Arms 4*

*Premium subscribers only.

For more on PlayStation Plus, here is what to know about the service and what games all PlayStation Plus subscribers can play until May 4.

When AT&T recently revamped its unlimited phone plans, the top-level Premiere 2.0 plan cost more than the Unlimited Premium PL plan it replaced. (The Extra 2.0 and Value 2.0 plans came in as less expensive options than their predecessors.) And then the company raised the costs of «retired» plans, encouraging subscribers to switch over — but not giving folks willing to pay for top-tier plans much incentive to do so.

Now it looks like AT&T is going to add a pricier unlimited plan that includes more hotspot data to the top spot of its lineup.

As reported by Android Authority referencing a video by Sneed Mobile Tech, AT&T will soon introduce an Elite 2.0 plan that includes 250GB of hotspot data as well as unlimited talk, text and high-speed data in 20 Latin American countries.

The new plan is reportedly priced at $75 per line on an account with four lines. AT&T lets you mix and match their plans on an account, with the per-line price going down the more lines you have. A single-line price is not listed, but Sneed Mobile Tech speculates it could run $110.

It will also include the company’s AT&T Turbo feature that boosts data throughput and video quality and offers unlimited international talk and text, 20GB of global data and «smartwatch and tablet access,» according to the video, which appears to show a leaked data sheet detailing the differences between plans.

An AT&T representative didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.

The shifting patterns of ocean currents shape our climate and weather. Even today, understanding how ocean currents behave is challenging. But researchers have developed an AI tool that can map currents across large swaths of the ocean with a level of detail previously unachievable. 

The team from the University of California, San Diego, published their work in the journal Nature Geoscience on April 13. They trained an AI network using thermal imagery from weather satellites in an approach they call GOFlow (Geostationary Ocean Flow). 

«We can now observe small, fast-changing ocean currents from space with much greater detail and frequency than before,» Luc Lenain, an oceanographer at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the study’s first author, told CNET. «Those currents are important because they help control how heat, carbon, nutrients and pollutants move through the ocean.»

Ebbs and flows

A few years ago, while Lenain was looking through thermal satellite images of the North Atlantic Ocean, he noticed visual patterns in temperature changes from major currents, such as the Gulf Stream. He had an idea for a new way to measure ocean currents by taking what his eye could see and putting it into an AI tool.

The researchers trained the GOFlow neural network on simulated ocean currents, then used It on real images from a weather satellite. The AI tool used satellite images to track surface temperatures, which shift due to underlying ocean currents. 

By tracking temperature changes in the images, GOFlow inferred which current caused them. 

The team checked their work against data that was gathered by ships in the Gulf Stream region. They also tested GOFlow’s results against more traditional satellite methods that rely on tracking height changes in the ocean surface. 

The researchers found that their outputs aligned with other ship and satellite results, but they say that GOFlow also provided greater detail on ocean currents than had previously been documented only in computer models. 

«These kinds of [AI] driven approaches are not replacing physics,» Lenain said. «Instead, AI is helping us extract physical information that is already present in satellite observations, but has been difficult to recover with traditional methods until now.» 

The view from above

Despite GOFlow’s achievements, the researchers note that the tool has some limitations, such as cloud cover: Cloudy days can block a satellite’s view of the ocean. They say future work will incorporate additional satellite data to fill these gaps. 

The computer code developed by the researchers will be made publicly available to help further work. 

«We wanted to make this work transparent, reproducible and useful to the broader community,» Lenain said. «We see GOFlow as a stepping stone toward more routine use of large remote-sensing datasets combined with machine learning.»

Gathering satellite images to learn about ocean currents is an example of Earth observation. Governments and militaries, as well as farmers and insurance companies, rely on this data for decision-making.

The GOFlow project is part of a larger AI trend, as AI tools can speed up and improve the accuracy of data analysis. NASA, the European Space Agency and private space firms have begun building and testing AI tools that can analyze such data.
