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 provides online multiplayer access and monthly freebies, horror fans will find a richer selection in the Extra and Premium tiers.
The Extra tier boasts a library of hundreds of PS5 and PS4 games, regularly updated with approximately 15 new additions monthly. Premium expands on this with access to classic PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP titles. This extensive catalog ensures a diverse range of genres, including a noteworthy selection of horror games.
Updated January 5, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The December 2024 PS Plus Extra and Premium additions lacked horror titles, leaving fans reliant on the existing catalog. Note that Resident Evil 2 will be removed from the service on January 21, 2025, impacting one of the genre's strongest offerings. Fortunately, its campaign is manageable before removal. Resident Evil 3 remains available. A new section highlighting alternative PS Plus games for horror enthusiasts has been added.
