May 2025 PS Plus Game Linked to Hollywood Movie

It appears that one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 may have been leaked. While Sony has not yet confirmed anything, rumors are swirling that the teen slasher horror game Until Dawn will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. The promotional material hints at the Until Dawn Remastered being offered, rather than the original 2014 version, though this is not yet certain. We'll provide confirmation as soon as we have official news.

PlayStation Plus is a comprehensive online gaming service for PlayStation users, offering a range of benefits including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive member discounts. Additionally, Extra and Premium members have access to a vast catalog of current and classic games, while the monthly free games are accessible to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.

Speculation within the PlayStation subreddit community, as reported by PushSquare, suggests this could be a promotional move tied to the recent release of the Until Dawn movie. Unfortunately, the movie did not meet our expectations, receiving a 5/10 in IGN's Until Dawn movie review, where we 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 Until Dawn Remastered received the same score from us, with our review stating it was 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 was more favorably received, earning a 7.5/10 from us.

In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the service next month, including 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. As a result, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles.
