The horror video game genre has been around for years but has recently climbed in popularity, with some of the most memorable titles falling into this category. With Halloween right around the corner, it’s a good time to dive into some of the best horror games the PlayStation 5 has to offer. The system is still young, so the selection of games is still expanding, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of scares to be had.
Here, we’ll cover the best horror games on Sony’s new platform. Note that this list is comprised of PS5 games only — PS4 titles playable via backward compatibility will not be included. Though, the games on this list aren’t necessarily exclusive to PS5.
