PS Plus May 2025 Tied to Major Film Launch

A PlayStation Plus game for May 2025 appears to have leaked ahead of schedule.

Although Sony hasn't officially confirmed anything, industry rumors suggest Until Dawn - the teen slasher horror adventure - will be offered as a free download next May. The promotional artwork hints this could be the upcoming remastered version rather than the 2014 original, though we'll provide official confirmation as soon as details emerge.

PlayStation Plus is Sony's premium online gaming subscription service offering monthly free games, exclusive trials, multiplayer access, and special discounts. Higher-tier members gain access to an extensive library of current and legacy titles, while all subscribers receive the monthly complimentary games regardless of their membership level.

As discussed on the PlayStation subreddit (via PushSquare), this potential offer may serve as cross-promotion for the recently released Until Dawn film adaptation. The movie disappointed critics, earning a 5/10 score in IGN's review where we noted it "abandoned the game's horror potential for derivative slasher tropes."

The 2024 remaster received similar criticism in our review, described as an "overpriced re-release lacking meaningful enhancements." This stands in contrast to the original 2015 game which earned a more favorable 7.5/10 rating from our team.

Subscribers should note that 22 titles will leave PlayStation Plus next month, including major games like GTA V and Payday 2: Crimewave Edition. Notably, this removal affects the last playable versions of Sony exclusives Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2, making them completely unavailable on modern consoles.
