It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has leaked. While nothing is confirmed by Sony yet, rumors suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players in May. Although the promotional art hints at the Until Dawn Remastered edition rather than the original 2014 release, it's not entirely clear which version will be offered. We'll provide confirmation as soon as we have more information.
PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms that offers a range of benefits including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive discounts for members. It also provides access to a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games for Extra and Premium members, though the monthly free games are available to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.
Speculation from the PlayStation community on Reddit, highlighted by PushSquare, suggests that this move could be a promotional strategy for the newly released Until Dawn movie. The movie, which premiered just before the weekend, received a lukewarm response, earning a 5/10 score in IGN's review, which stated: "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 was met with criticism, receiving the same 5/10 score from IGN, with the review describing 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, 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 accessible on modern consoles.
