A surprising discovery in the PlayStation Store suggests that the Until Dawn remake could be heading to the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup in May 2025. If the listing is accurate, the critically acclaimed horror remake may be one of at least three free games offered to subscribers during the first week of May.
Sony refreshes its free game offerings every month across its PlayStation Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers. While Extra and Premium subscribers gain access to an expanding game catalog featuring hundreds of titles, Essential members typically receive a selection of three PS4 and PS5 games monthly. Once added to their library, subscribers can continue playing these games as long as they maintain an active subscription.
With April 2025 coming to a close, all eyes are now on what May might bring—and early signs point to Until Dawn leading the charge. Reddit user Budget-Neat4750 and other fans noticed that the Until Dawn remake was listed among the “latest” monthly games for PlayStation Plus Essential, even though Sony has not officially announced the lineup yet.
Many fans speculate that this move could be part of a cross-promotion effort, as the Until Dawn movie recently released in theaters. Some are also hopeful that giving away the remake could hint at PlayStation preparing players for a potential sequel announcement in the future.
What to Expect
If the listing holds true, Until Dawn will headline the PlayStation Plus Essential free games lineup for May 2025. The new monthly selection is expected to go live as early as May 1. Sony typically announces the upcoming games for Extra and Premium tiers later in the month, offering even more titles for higher-tier subscribers.
In the meantime, players still have a few days left to grab April’s PlayStation Plus games before they rotate out. Subscribers have until Monday, May 5, to claim:
- RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5)
- The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PS4 and PS5)
- Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory (PS4)
A reminder for PlayStation Plus members: free PS4 titles will no longer be a “key benefit” of the subscription starting January 2026. Players should make sure to add this year’s offerings to their libraries while they can.
