It appears that one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 may have been leaked, though nothing has been officially confirmed by Sony yet. Rumors are circulating that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. While the leaked key art suggests it might be the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the 2014 original, clarity on this is still pending. We'll keep you updated as soon as we have official confirmation.
PlayStation Plus is Sony's online gaming service for PlayStation platforms. It offers a range of benefits, including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and member-exclusive discounts. Additionally, it features a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games accessible to Extra and Premium members, although the monthly free games are available to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.

Some members of the PlayStation subreddit (as noted by PushSquare) speculate that offering Until Dawn could be a promotional move tied to the recent release of the Until Dawn movie, which hit theaters just before the weekend. Unfortunately, the movie didn't meet expectations, receiving a 5/10 from us at IGN. Our review 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."
Similarly, the 2024 remaster of Until Dawn was not well-received, earning the same 5/10 score. We 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 IGN's Until Dawn Remastered review. In contrast, the original 2015 release by Supermassive Games was more favorably reviewed, achieving a 7.5/10 from us.
In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are set to be pulled from the service's library next month. This list includes popular 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 available on modern consoles.
