PlayStation Leak Suggests Pixar Classic Wall-E May Be Coming to PS Plus Soon
A newly emerged game rating for Pixar's Wall-E hints at a potential PlayStation 5 and PS4 release, sparking speculation that the beloved title could be joining the PS Plus subscription service, potentially as part of the Classics lineup.
PlayStation gamers, keep your eyes peeled – a fresh leak has surfaced that might just reveal a surprise addition to the PS Plus lineup in the near future. Just as PlayStation rolled out its latest batch of PS Plus Game Catalog titles this week – including heavy-hitters like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, and newer releases like Lost Records: Bloom & Rage and TopSpin 2K25 – rumors are now swirling about a potential classic joining the service in March 2025. And this one is a blast from the past: Pixar’s Wall-E.
The hint comes courtesy of Gematsu, who spotted a new game rating for Wall-E popping up from Taiwan's game rating board. The listing specifically mentions PlayStation platforms, indicating an impending release for Wall-E on both PS5 and PS4. Beyond these basic details – platforms and the game title – concrete information is still scarce. However, the appearance of this rating strongly suggests that Wall-E is indeed making its way to modern PlayStation consoles.
For those with long memories, Wall-E originally launched way back in 2008, gracing a wide range of platforms at the time, including PlayStation consoles like the PS3, PS2, and PSP. Interestingly, PlayStation has shown a willingness to revisit these older Disney/Pixar tie-in games on current-gen hardware. A recent example is Up, another Pixar classic, which quietly arrived on PS5 and PS4 in late 2023. When Up was re-released, it was immediately slotted into the PS Plus Classics catalog, a perk for Premium tier subscribers. Given this precedent, it seems highly likely that a similar strategy is in play for Wall-E, suggesting it will also join the PS Plus Classics lineup if and when it arrives on PS5 and PS4.
While this rating leak certainly makes a Wall-E PlayStation release seem highly probable, it's important to temper expectations slightly. Firstly, even if Wall-E is indeed inbound, the timing isn't definitively confirmed. Just because the rating has surfaced now doesn't guarantee it will be part of the March PS Plus Classics drop. It’s certainly a strong possibility, aligning with the timeframe, but official confirmation from Sony is still needed to be certain about a March release.
Secondly, there’s still some ambiguity about which version of Wall-E might be making the jump to PS5 and PS4. The original 2008 release saw different iterations of Wall-E across PS3, PS2, and PSP, with some variations in gameplay and content between them. Sony's choice of which version to port forward could matter to fans familiar with the older releases. However, if the Up re-release is any indication, it's plausible that Sony might be bringing forward the PSP version of Wall-E, as they did with Up and its PSP origins for the PS Plus Classics release.
Regardless of the specifics and pending official confirmation, the prospect of Wall-E potentially joining PS Plus is likely to be welcome news for subscribers, especially those with an appreciation for classic Pixar titles or those nostalgic for the PS2/PS3 era of gaming. For PS Plus Premium members, in particular, Wall-E could be a charming addition to the Classics catalog, offering a dose of Pixar-fueled nostalgia.
