The Halloween season is the perfect excuse to catch up on the best scary and horror-themed video games. While there are plenty of excellent horror games on every platform, we’ve rounded up our picks for the best Halloween games on Xbox/PC Games Pass and PlayStation Plus Extra, since these subscription services include massive libraries of games you can download and play for free. That way, you can stock up on a bunch of spooky titles to play over the rest of the month.
We made sure to pick games from a variety of genres, gameplay styles, and themes—everything from tense survival horror games, multiplayer interactive slashers, and family-friendly Halloween adventures are on our list. Every game on this list is playable with either Game Pass or PlayStation Plus Extra, but we’ve also included any additional platforms they’re playable on if you don’t subscribe to a particular service or own the right console.
