It appears that one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 may have been leaked, with rumors suggesting that the teen slasher horror game Until Dawn will be available as a free download for PlayStation players. While the key art hints at the possibility of Until Dawn Remastered being offered rather than the original 2014 version, official confirmation from Sony is still pending. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have more definitive 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 member-exclusive discounts. Additionally, Extra and Premium members have access to a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games, while the monthly free games are available to all players, regardless of their subscription tier.
The speculation about Until Dawn's inclusion in the May lineup comes from discussions within the PlayStation community on Reddit, with some suggesting it could be a promotional move for the newly released Until Dawn movie. Unfortunately, the movie didn't meet expectations, receiving a 5/10 rating from IGN, which noted that it failed to capture the horror game's promise, instead offering a disjointed series of horror-movie recreations.
Similarly, the 2024 remaster of Until Dawn was met with criticism, also scoring a 5/10 from IGN. It was described as an "overpriced and under-featured remake," suggesting it didn't live up to its potential. In contrast, the original 2015 game was more favorably received, earning a 7.5/10 from the same source.
In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the service next month, including high-profile 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. This removal will result in Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 being completely unavailable on modern consoles.
