PS Plus Teases Hollywood-Inspired Game for May 2025

A PlayStation Plus game for May 2025 may have prematurely surfaced online.

Though Sony hasn't officially confirmed anything, industry whispers suggest horror adventure Until Dawn will be May's free PlayStation Plus offering. The leaked promotional artwork hints it might be the upcoming Remastered edition rather than the 2014 original, though clarification is pending - we'll update as soon as details solidify.

PlayStation Plus serves as Sony's premium online gaming service, granting subscribers monthly free games, exclusive trials, multiplayer access, and special discounts. Higher-tier Extra and Premium members gain entry to an extensive library of modern and legacy titles, though all membership levels receive the rotating monthly game selections.

As noted by the PlayStation subreddit community (via PushSquare), this potential giveaway could tie into marketing for the recently released Until Dawn film adaptation. The cinematic version struggled to impress our critics, earning a middling 5/10 score in IGN's Until Dawn movie review: "Until Dawn sacrifices the game's promising horror framework for a disjointed compilation of genre clichés."

Our evaluation matched the reception of 2024's remastered edition, which we critiqued in IGN's Until Dawn Remastered review as "a premium-priced yet feature-light remake that feels less like essential horror and more like financial exploitation." Notably, Supermassive Games' 2015 original fared significantly better in our assessment, securing a 7.5/10 rating.

PlayStation Plus subscribers face imminent departures of 22 titles from the service catalog, including seminal releases like Grand Theft Auto 5 and Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, alongside legacy exclusives Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2. These removals will permanently eliminate access to the Resistance series on contemporary PlayStation consoles.
