"PS Plus Game rumored for May 2025 linked to Hollywood movie"

Rumors are swirling that one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 might be the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn. While Sony has yet to confirm anything, the leaked key art hints at the possibility of Until Dawn Remastered being offered as a free download for PlayStation players. Whether it's the remastered version or the 2014 original remains uncertain, but rest assured, we'll provide an update as soon as we have official confirmation.

PlayStation Plus is a comprehensive online gaming service for PlayStation platforms. It offers a plethora of benefits, including free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and exclusive member discounts. Additionally, Extra and Premium members have access to a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games, although the monthly free games are available to all subscribers, irrespective of their membership tier.

Speculation from the PlayStation subreddit (thanks to PushSquare) suggests that offering Until Dawn could be a strategic move to boost interest in the recently released Until Dawn movie. Unfortunately, the movie didn't live up to expectations, earning a 5/10 from us at IGN. Our review highlighted its shortcomings, stating, "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 received the same score. We described it in our IGN's Until Dawn Remastered review 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 contrast, the original 2015 game by Supermassive received a more favorable review, earning a 7.5/10.

In other PlayStation Plus news, 22 games are set to be removed from the library next month. This list includes high-profile titles like Grand Theft Auto 5, Payday 2: Crimewave Edition, and the final 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 accessible on modern consoles.
