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. While online play requires at least the Essential tier, horror game enthusiasts will find a richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.
The Extra tier offers access to hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, regularly updated with new additions. Premium expands this library further, incorporating classic titles from PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP. Sony's service boasts a wide variety of genres, ensuring a diverse selection for most players, including a notable collection of horror games.
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. However, Resident Evil 3 remains available. Due to the lack of new horror additions, this guide now includes a section recommending alternative PS Plus games that might appeal to horror fans.
