Best Xbox One Horror Games in 2021

Undeniably one of today's best horror games, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard revives the survival horror that defined the series. With a new first-person view, players are deeply immersed in a tense, action-fueled adventure.

This medieval-era story may not follow your typical horror tropes, but still delivers an unmissable dark tale on Xbox One. Following two siblings caught among the plague chaos, players utilize stealth to escape the trials ahead, while fending off hordes of carnivorous rats.

On a hunt for lost family, The Evil Within 2 captures unhinged psychological horror. Elevating scares to the next level, players must manage resources and stay alert.

The heartless world of The Blair Witch Project movie translates to Xbox One and PC, crafted by Bloober Team of Layers of Fear and Observer. Merging psychological horror with the series' signature found-footage themes, it's a wild ride challenging your instincts.

After a digital plague sweeps civilization, digital realms are now more enticing than ever. Diving deeper into virtual memories of the insane, Observer thrives on player uncertainty to build atmospheric tension.

Venturing into an abandoned mental asylum, Outlast is among today's darkest adventures. With a night-vision camcorder in-hand, you'll hide from unforgiving threats, praying those batteries don't die.

Layers of Fear is a psychedelic tale of an artist descending into insanity, navigating through mazes of corridors and doors. Cutting out combat and conventional scares, it's all about the fear of the unknown.

Trapped on a space station with an extra-terrestrial threat, players will need to stay alert and hidden. But remember that in space, no one can hear you scream.

Once undead creatures flood a mining starship, Dead Space becomes a bloody struggle to escape. While a classic of the Xbox 360 era, it's playable via Xbox One backward compatibility.
