Rumored May 2025 Free PS Plus Game Ties In With A Hollywood Movie Release

by Allison May 03,2025

It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has 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. The key art hints at the Until Dawn Remastered version, rather than the 2014 original, though we'll provide confirmation as soon as it's available.

PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms, offering free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and member-exclusive discounts. It also features 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 tier.

As speculated by some members of the PlayStation subreddit (thanks, PushSquare), this could be a promotional move for the new Until Dawn movie, which was released just before the weekend. The movie didn't particularly impress, earning a 5/10 score from us at IGN, with our review stating: "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 the 2024 remaster, 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 IGN's Until Dawn Remastered review. In contrast, Supermassive's 2015 original received a much better score of 7.5/10 from us.

22 games are set to be pulled 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 now be completely unavailable on modern consoles.
