The PlayStation 5 has been an excellent console for horror game fans. It’s not just that it can render horrible monsters[1], gore, and viscera at higher resolutions than previous systems; the DualSense controller means that you can feel your character’s heartbeat, the tension of the trigger under your finger, and the horror manifesting within your hands. In some of the best horror games on PS5, you’ll be able to fend off the terrors that are coming for you, whether they be shambling zombies[2], ravenous werewolves[3], or something even more sinister. Others will only let you run and hide, which can sometimes be even scarier. There are classic franchises, like Resident Evil[4] and Silent Hill, and some newer entries in the horror canon.
Here’s our list of the best horror games with native PS5 versions to keep you busy and scared over Halloween. For more horror games across all systems, check out our list of the best horror games[5].. For more horror games across all systems, check out our list of the best horror games[6].
