It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked. While Sony has yet to confirm 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 key art hints that it could be the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the original 2014 release, though we'll need to wait for official confirmation to be sure.
PlayStation Plus is an essential online gaming service for PlayStation users, offering a range of benefits including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive member discounts. Subscribers to the Extra and Premium tiers also gain access to a vast catalog of current and classic games, while the monthly free games are accessible to all members, regardless of their subscription level.
Speculation within the PlayStation community on Reddit, as highlighted by PushSquare, suggests that this move might be tied to the recent release of the Until Dawn movie. However, the film didn't leave a strong impression, earning a 5/10 from IGN, with our review stating: "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 the same score from IGN, described 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 slated to be removed from the service next month, including high-profile titles like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, as well as the last playable versions of first-party titles Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. Once these games are removed, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles.
