22 Best PlayStation Plus Horror Games, Ranked

This guide explores the revamped PlayStation Plus service and its diverse game library, focusing on horror titles available through its tiers. Sony's 2022 PlayStation Plus overhaul introduced three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. While Essential is required for online play and offers monthly free games, horror enthusiasts will find a richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.

The Extra tier boasts a library of hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, regularly updated with approximately 15 new additions each month. Premium expands on this, adding hundreds of classic PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP titles. This extensive catalog ensures a wide variety of genres, including a strong horror selection.

Update January 5, 2025: The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror games, meaning fans must rely on the existing library. Note that Resident Evil 2 will be removed on January 21, 2025, leaving Resident Evil 3 as a remaining standout. Given their shorter campaigns, completing at least one Resident Evil 2 playthrough before its removal is feasible.

Due to the absence of new horror titles, we've added a section highlighting alternative PS Plus games that might appeal to horror fans.
