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 offers monthly freebies, horror enthusiasts will find a richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.
The Extra tier boasts hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, regularly updated with around 15 new additions monthly. Premium expands on this with hundreds more classic titles from PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP. Sony's diverse catalog ensures a wide range of genres, including a solid horror selection.
Update (January 5, 2025): The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror titles. Note that Resident Evil 2 is leaving the service on January 21, 2025, impacting the available horror options. However, Resident Evil 3 remains. Because no new horror games were added, we've included a section highlighting alternative PS Plus titles that might appeal to horror fans.
