Until Dawn Remake Might Be A Free Monthly Game On PS Essential

If you fancy watching some teenagers get murdered in a creepy house in the woods, then there might be some good news; it seems like the Until Dawn remake will be one of May’s free monthly PS Plus Essential games.

The evidence was found by Reddit user Budget-Neat4750 who noted that Until Dawn had appeared on his PlayStation under the monthly games section.

The original Until Dawn is no longer available, so this is presumably the 2024 remake which replaced it.

The timing makes some sense as the official Until Dawn has just hit cinemas, so Sony might see this as a way of boosting awareness a little. Although, it doesn’t look like you’re missing much if you don’t go and see it as the critic reviews have been middling, and the audience rating hasn’t been much better.

As for the game, it would be an ignominious fate for the remake. It launched on October 2, 2024, so to be given out for free just 7 months later is an embarrassing fate for a Sony first-party title.

But then, it isn’t like the game has done very well. The remake received lukewarm reviews, holding a score of just 69 (nice) on Opencritic, and was mostly ignored by everyone. On Steam, it saw a peak concurrent player count of just a few thousand, and apparently on PS5 it actually did worse than Concord which is, of course, Sony’s biggest gaming disaster to date.

Would you guys be okay with the Until Dawn remake being one of May’s free games?
