It seems like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked, though Sony has yet to confirm anything officially. The rumor suggests that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. While the promotional art hints at the Until Dawn Remastered version, rather than the original 2014 release, details remain uncertain. We'll provide a confirmation as soon as it's available.
PlayStation Plus is a comprehensive online gaming service for PlayStation platforms. It offers a range of benefits, including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer access, and exclusive member discounts. Additionally, Extra and Premium members can enjoy a vast catalog of current and classic games. However, the monthly free games are accessible to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.
Speculation from the PlayStation community on Reddit suggests this move might be a promotional strategy for the recently released Until Dawn movie. The movie, which hit screens just before the weekend, received a lukewarm response from critics, earning a 5/10 from IGN. Our review stated, "Until Dawn is more disappointing than deadly, leaving all the promise of the horror game behind for a jumble of horror-movie recreations."
Similarly, the 2024 remaster of Until Dawn was also met with criticism, scoring a 5/10 from IGN. We described it as "an overpriced and under-featured remake that seems less like a must-have bit of moonlit murder and more like daylight robbery." In contrast, the original 2015 game from Supermassive was much better received, achieving a score of 7.5/10.
In other news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the PlayStation Plus library next month. This list includes popular titles like Grand Theft Auto 5, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, and the final playable versions of first-party games Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. As a result, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be accessible on modern consoles.
