A recent PlayStation Store listing suggests the Until Dawn remake could be one of the free games offered to PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers in May 2025. The game may join the monthly lineup alongside two other titles, which typically become available during the first week of the month. Sony regularly updates its catalog of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers across all tiers—Essential, Extra, and Premium.

The PS Plus Premium tier offers access to classic PS1, PS2, and PSP games, as well as cloud streaming for PS3 and PS5 titles. Meanwhile, Extra and Premium subscribers enjoy the ever-expanding PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, which refreshes monthly. As long as users maintain their subscription, they can keep these games in their library indefinitely. With April 2025 coming to a close, players are already speculating about next month’s offerings, and the Until Dawn remake appears to be a strong contender.

Reddit user Budget-Neat4750 and other keen-eyed PlayStation fans noticed the Until Dawn remake listed as one of the "latest" monthly games for PlayStation Plus Essential, even though Sony has yet to officially announce May’s lineup. Many believe this could be a strategic move to promote the newly released Until Dawn movie. Additionally, some fans are hopeful that this signals an upcoming sequel, encouraging players to revisit the remake before a potential announcement.

If the listing proves accurate, Until Dawn could be the highlight of May 2025's PlayStation Plus Essential free games, expected to go live on May 1. Typically, three PS4 and PS5 games are added monthly for Essential subscribers and above. Meanwhile, Extra and Premium catalog updates are usually revealed mid-month.

While waiting for official confirmation, subscribers still have until May 5 to claim April 2025’s free games: RoboCop: Rogue City (PS5), The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (PS4/PS5), and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker's Memory (PS4). It’s worth noting that starting January 2026, PS4 games will no longer be a core benefit of PlayStation Plus, so players should claim them now to retain access.
