"May 2025 PS Plus Game Linked to Hollywood Movie"

It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has leaked. While nothing is officially confirmed by Sony yet, rumors are circulating that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players in May. Although the key art suggests it could be the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the 2014 original, details remain unclear. We'll provide confirmation as soon as we have it.

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. It also features a vast catalog of current and classic games for Extra and Premium members, though the monthly free games are accessible to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.

As speculated by members of the PlayStation subreddit (thanks to PushSquare), this move could be a promotional strategy for the newly released Until Dawn movie. The movie, which hit screens just before the weekend, received a lukewarm reception from us, earning a 5/10 in IGN's Until Dawn movie review: "Until Dawn is more disappointing than deadly, leaving all the promise of the horror game behind for a jumble of horror-movie recreations."

The 2024 remaster of Until Dawn also received a 5/10 from us, with IGN's Until Dawn Remastered 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, Supermassive's 2015 original game fared better, earning a 7.5/10.

In other news, 22 games are set to 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. As a result, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles.
