It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has been leaked. Although Sony has yet to confirm anything, rumors suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. The promotional art hints at the Until Dawn Remastered version rather than the original 2014 release, though we're awaiting official confirmation to clarify this.

PlayStation Plus is a comprehensive online gaming service for PlayStation users, offering free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer access, and exclusive member discounts. It also provides a vast catalog of current and classic games for Extra and Premium subscribers, with the monthly free games accessible to all tiers of members.

As speculated by members of the PlayStation subreddit (thanks to PushSquare), this move might be a promotional strategy for the recently released Until Dawn movie. However, the movie didn't live up to expectations, earning a 5/10 in IGN's Until Dawn movie 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 Until Dawn Remastered received the same score from IGN, with the review labeling 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 release by Supermassive Games was more favorably received, scoring a 7.5/10.

It's worth noting that 22 games will be removed from the PlayStation Plus library next month, including popular 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. This means that Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 will no longer be available on modern consoles following their removal.
