May 2025 PS Plus Game Linked to Hollywood Movie

It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked. While nothing is 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. Although the key art hints at the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the 2014 original, details are still unclear. We'll provide confirmation as soon as we have it.

PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms, offering free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive member discounts. It also includes a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games for Extra and Premium members, although the monthly free games are accessible to all players, regardless of their subscription level.

As speculated by some members of the PlayStation subreddit (thanks to PushSquare), this could be a promotional move for the new Until Dawn movie, which was released just before the weekend. The movie didn't impress us, earning a 5/10 score 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 re-creations."

That's the same score we gave to the 2024 Until Dawn Remastered, describing it in IGN's Until Dawn Remastered review 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 received a much better score of 7.5/10 from us.

Next month, 22 games will be removed from the PlayStation Plus library, 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.
