It seems that one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 may have been leaked early. While Sony has yet to make an official announcement, whispers around the gaming community suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, could be available for free to PlayStation players next month. The leaked key art hints at the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the original 2014 release, but we'll keep you posted with confirmed details as soon as they're available.
PlayStation Plus is an essential online gaming service for PlayStation users. 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 enjoy access to 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 subreddit (shoutout to PushSquare) suggests that this move could be tied to the recent release of the Until Dawn movie. Unfortunately, the movie didn't meet expectations, earning a modest 5/10 in IGN's Until Dawn movie review, which stated: "Until Dawn is more disappointing than deadly, leaving all the promise of the horror game behind for a jumble of horror-movie re-creations."
The 2024 remaster of Until Dawn received a similar lukewarm response from IGN, scoring a 5/10. Our review described 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, the original 2015 version from Supermassive Games was more favorably received, securing a 7.5/10 from us.
In other news, 22 games are slated to be removed from the PlayStation Plus library next month. This list includes high-profile titles such as 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 accessible on modern consoles.
