Although no screenshots of the tweet are available, comments from other users recall the reference to this classic horror game. The Reddit user also shared three tweets from players who claimed to have seen the now-deleted PlayStation UK tweet.

Fueling the speculation, the PlayStation Access YouTube channel inadvertently featured the game as part of this month's lineup in a video, only to remove the clip following the deletion of the tweet. Fortunately, a quick-witted user managed to capture a screenshot, further strengthening the likelihood of the game's arrival on the PlayStation Plus Premium lineup for 2024.

While the rumor remains unconfirmed, fans of Alone in the Dark eagerly anticipate an official announcement from PlayStation regarding the possible addition of this iconic PS1 horror title to the PlayStation Plus Premium lineup.
