Until Dawn Remake Possibly Coming to PS Plus Essential

Until Dawn fans might be in for a treat as the remake is possibly joining the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup in May 2025. Spotted recently on the PlayStation Store, this entry could be one of several free games available to subscribers during that month, potentially starting in early May.

Sony continues its monthly refresh of free games for PlayStation Plus subscribers across its various tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Premium gives players access to classic games from the PS1, PS2, and PSP eras alongside streaming for PS3 and PS5 titles. Meanwhile, the ever-changing Game Catalog for Extra and Premium ensures fresh content for subscribers to enjoy. As April 2025 draws to a close, anticipation builds about the upcoming May offerings. Early chatter suggests that the acclaimed Until Dawn remake, released last year, might be part of the lineup.

PlayStation enthusiasts, including Reddit user Budget-Neat4750, have noted the listing in the PlayStation Store, hinting at Until Dawn’s addition to PlayStation Plus Essential next month, even though the official lineup hasn’t been announced yet. This has sparked speculation about a possible marketing strategy linked to the recent Until Dawn movie, with some hoping the game’s inclusion signals an impending sequel.

If the listing turns out to be true, Until Dawn will be the highlight of the May 2025 PlayStation Plus Essential free games, expected to become available from May 1. Traditionally, three games for PS4 and PS5 enter the Essential tier each month, and revelations about updates for Extra and Premium users typically emerge midway through the month.

While waiting for official word on May’s selection, subscribers still have the chance to grab the free games for April 2025. They can claim titles like RoboCop: Rogue City for PS5, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre on both PS4 and PS5, and Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth – Hacker’s Memory for PS4 until Monday, May 5. It’s worth noting that beginning January 2026, free PS4 games will no longer be a central feature of PlayStation Plus, so now is a great time for subscribers to add these to their libraries for future enjoyment.
