May 2025 PS Plus Game Linked to Hollywood Movie

It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked, though nothing is officially 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. The key art hints that it might be the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the original 2014 release, but we'll provide confirmation as soon as we have more details.

PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms that offers a variety of benefits, including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive member 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 subscribers, regardless of their tier.

As speculated by members of the PlayStation subreddit (thanks, PushSquare), offering Until Dawn for free could be a strategic move to promote the recently released Until Dawn movie. However, the movie didn't meet expectations, earning a 5/10 in IGN's Until Dawn movie review, where it was described as "more disappointing than deadly, leaving all the promise of the horror game behind for a jumble of horror-movie re-creations."

The Until Dawn Remastered also received a 5/10 from us, with IGN's Until Dawn Remastered review calling it 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.

It's worth noting that 22 games will be removed from the PlayStation Plus library next month, including 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 that Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles.
