"May 2025 PS Plus Game Rumored to Sync with Hollywood Movie"

It looks like one of the PlayStation Plus games for May 2025 has leaked. While Sony hasn't confirmed anything yet, rumors suggest that the teen slasher horror game, Until Dawn, will be available as a free download for PlayStation players next month. The leaked key art points towards the Until Dawn Remastered version, rather than the original 2014 release, though we'll provide a confirmation once we have official details.

PlayStation Plus is an online gaming service for PlayStation platforms, offering free monthly games, limited-time trials, online multiplayer, and member-exclusive discounts. It also includes a catalog of hundreds of current and classic games for Extra and Premium members, with the monthly free games accessible to all subscribers, regardless of their tier.

Posts from the PlayStation community on Reddit speculate that this move might be a promotional strategy for the recently released Until Dawn movie. However, the movie didn't meet expectations, earning a 5/10 from IGN, which described it 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 remaster of Until Dawn received the same score from IGN, criticized 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 was more favorably received, scoring a 7.5/10.

In other news, 22 games are scheduled to be removed from the PlayStation Plus library next month, including 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.
