Despite being somewhat of a niche genre, horror games are all over our list of the best Xbox Series X games. Best enjoyed in a dark room with a quality headset, these games amp up the frights by forcing you to confront disturbing monstrosities with limited (or even no) ways to protect yourself. This is nearly the opposite of how most FPS games or multiplayer titles function, but provides a completely unique sense of satisfaction. Of course, a bad horror game that can’t find the right balance between scares, gameplay, and story can end up feeling more like a chore than a frightening experience. We’ll make sure you don’t pick a dud by rounding up our favorite horror games on the Series X.
Horror games don’t come out very often, so check out our list of upcoming Xbox Series X games to know when the next spooky title will drop.
