Horror Heaven: 22 Must-Play PS Plus Scares

This guide explores the revamped PlayStation Plus service and its diverse game library, focusing on horror titles available across its three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. To play online, a PS Plus Essential subscription is required. While Essential offers monthly free games, the Extra and Premium tiers unlock extensive catalogs of PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP games, including a strong selection of horror titles.

The Extra tier boasts hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, with approximately 15 new additions monthly. Premium includes all Extra games plus hundreds of classic titles from older PlayStation consoles. Sony's service offers a wide range of genres, ensuring something for most players, including a significant horror collection.

Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror games. Note that Resident Evil 2 will be removed from the service on January 21, 2025. However, Resident Evil 3 remains available. Due to the lack of new horror additions, a section highlighting alternative PS Plus games that might appeal to horror fans has been added.
