It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked early. While Sony has not yet confirmed the news, whispers on the internet suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, might be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. The promotional art hints that it could be the Until Dawn Remastered version, rather than the original 2014 release, though details remain unclear until an official announcement is made.
PlayStation Plus is an essential online gaming service for PlayStation users, offering a variety of benefits including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive member discounts. Additionally, Extra and Premium members enjoy access to a vast catalog of current and classic games, while the monthly free games are open to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.
The speculation around Until Dawn's inclusion in May's lineup is fueled by discussions on the PlayStation subreddit, with thanks to insights from PushSquare. Some believe this move could be tied to the recent release of the Until Dawn movie, which hit theaters just before the weekend. However, the movie didn't meet expectations, earning a 5/10 score from IGN's review, which noted, "Until Dawn is more disappointing than deadly, leaving all the promise of the horror game behind for a jumble of horror-movie re-creations."
Similarly, the 2024 remaster of Until Dawn received a lukewarm response, also scoring a 5/10 from IGN. The review criticized it as an "overpriced and under-featured remake that seems less like a must-have bit of moonlit murder and something closer to daylight robbery." In contrast, the original 2015 game by Supermassive Games was more favorably received, earning a 7.5/10.
In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the service next month. This list includes popular titles like Grand Theft Auto 5, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, and the last playable versions of first-party titles Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. Notably, the removal of Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 means these games will no longer be accessible on modern consoles.
