Horror title possibly leaked ahead of official PlayStation announcement
Summary
– The PS5 remaster of Until Dawn may be coming to PS Plus Essential in May
– A PS5 promotional banner labeled it as a “Monthly Game”
– The timing aligns with the release of the Until Dawn movie adaptation
The PS Plus Essential lineup for May 2025 may have leaked early, and horror fans could be in for a surprise. A promotional banner spotted on the PlayStation 5’s PS Plus landing page suggests that the PS5 remaster of Until Dawn will be one of the “Monthly Games” offered to subscribers.
Reddit user Budget-Neat4750 captured a screenshot showing Until Dawn promoted as a free game for PS Plus Essential members. While Sony has yet to confirm the lineup, it’s expected to be announced officially on Wednesday, April 30.
The timing makes sense, as the film adaptation of Until Dawn recently debuted in theaters worldwide. Pairing the cinematic release with the remastered game on PS Plus could boost visibility for both versions of the horror franchise.
Originally released on PS4, Until Dawn gained a cult following for its branching narrative and tense decision-based gameplay. The PS5 remaster, launched last year, received mixed reviews. Critics praised the updated visuals but criticized its lack of meaningful upgrades and missing upgrade path for PS4 owners.
Still, as part of PS Plus Essential, the remaster may find new life with players who skipped purchasing it at full price. For subscribers, the addition removes the cost factor that hurt its launch reception.
