May 2025 PS Plus Game Linked to Hollywood Movie

Rumors are swirling that Until Dawn, the beloved teen slasher horror game, might be offered as a free download for PlayStation Plus members in May 2025. While Sony has yet to confirm anything, the leaked key art points toward the Until Dawn Remastered rather than the original 2014 release. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have official confirmation.

PlayStation Plus is an essential online gaming service for PlayStation users, offering free monthly games, exclusive discounts, online multiplayer, and limited-time trials. Subscribers on the Extra and Premium tiers also enjoy access to a vast catalog of current and classic games. Importantly, the monthly free games are accessible to all members, regardless of their subscription level.

Speculation on the PlayStation subreddit suggests this move could be tied to promoting the recent Until Dawn movie, which unfortunately didn't meet expectations. Our review at IGN gave the movie a 5/10, noting that "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 received the same score, with our review stating it's 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 earned a more favorable 7.5/10 from us.

In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are slated to be removed from the service's library next month. This list includes 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. Notably, with their removal, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles.
