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.
