22 Best PlayStation Plus Horror Games, Ranked

This article is part of a directory: What You Need To Know About PlayStation Plus

In 2022, Sony revolutionized PlayStation Plus, launching a new era for the service. Now, players choose from three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. Essential access is required for online multiplayer in most games, and includes a few monthly freebies. However, fans seeking PS Plus horror games will likely need Extra or Premium.

The Extra tier boasts hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, with roughly 15 new additions monthly. Premium includes everything from Extra, plus hundreds of classic PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP titles. Sony's service offers diverse genres, ensuring a wide selection for most players, including a strong horror lineup. The scariest PS Plus games are among the service's best offerings.

Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium lineup lacked new horror games. Resident Evil 2 is leaving the service on January 21, 2025, removing a top-tier horror option. Fortunately, its campaigns are short enough to complete before its removal. Resident Evil 3 remains available.

With no new horror additions, we've added a section highlighting other PS Plus games that might appeal to horror fans.
