It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has leaked. While nothing has been confirmed by Sony yet, rumors are swirling that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. Although the promotional art suggests it might be the remastered version rather than the 2014 original, we'll provide a confirmation as soon as we have official word.
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 member discounts. 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 members of the PlayStation community on Reddit, as noted by PushSquare, suggests this could be a promotional move for the recently released Until Dawn movie. The movie, which hit theaters just before the weekend, didn't meet expectations, earning a 5/10 from IGN. In our review, we described it as "more disappointing than deadly, leaving all the promise of the horror game behind for a jumble of horror-movie re-creations."
The 2024 remaster of Until Dawn also received a 5/10 from us, with IGN's review criticizing 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 from Supermassive earned a more favorable score of 7.5/10.
In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the library 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 means Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be accessible on modern consoles.
