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 multiplayer, horror fans will find a richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.
Extra offers hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, regularly expanding its library with approximately 15 new titles monthly. Premium includes all Extra games, plus a vast catalog of classic PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP titles. This broad selection ensures diverse gaming options, including a strong horror genre representation.
Update (January 5, 2025): The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror games. Note that Resident Evil 2 will be removed on January 21, 2025, leaving Resident Evil 3 as a remaining standout. Given the relatively short campaign lengths, completing Resident Evil 2 before its removal is feasible.
Due to the lack of new horror additions, we've added a section highlighting alternative PS Plus games that might appeal to horror enthusiasts.
