PS Plus Game Linked to Hollywood Movie Release in May 2025

It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked, though nothing is officially confirmed by Sony yet. Rumors suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. While the key art points toward the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the 2014 original, 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 vast catalog of current and classic games for Extra and Premium members, but 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. However, the movie didn't meet expectations, earning a 5/10 from IGN's review, which described it as "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 also received a 5/10 from IGN, with the review calling it 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 was more favorably received, scoring a 7.5/10.

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