22 Best PlayStation Plus Horror Games, Ranked

This guide explores the revamped PlayStation Plus service and its horror game offerings. Sony's 2022 overhaul introduced three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. While Essential is required for online play and includes monthly free games, horror fans will find a much richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.

The Extra tier boasts hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, with approximately 15 new additions monthly. Premium includes everything from Extra, plus a vast library of classic PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP titles. This extensive catalog ensures a diverse range of genres, including a strong horror selection.

Update (January 5, 2025): The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror titles. Note that Resident Evil 2 will be removed from the service on January 21, 2025. Fortunately, its campaign is relatively short, allowing for completion before removal. Resident Evil 3, however, remains available. A new section highlighting alternative PS Plus games for horror enthusiasts has been added.
