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 Sony has not yet confirmed anything, rumors suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players during May. The leaked key art hints that it might be the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the 2014 original, but we'll provide confirmation once we have more details.

PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms that offers a variety of benefits, including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and member-exclusive discounts. It also features a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games available to Extra and Premium members. However, the monthly free games are accessible to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.

Members of the PlayStation community on Reddit have speculated that this could be a promotional move for the newly released Until Dawn movie, which premiered just before the weekend. Unfortunately, the movie didn't live up to expectations, receiving a 5/10 in IGN's review, where it was described as "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 of Until Dawn received the same score from IGN, with the review criticizing 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 game from Supermassive Games was more favorably received, earning a 7.5/10.

In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the library next month, including 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. As a result, Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles.
