Xbox One Backward Compatible Horror Game Guide

Published

on

Microsoft has been steadily growing the Xbox One’s library of backward compatible video games since the feature went live last November, and though the selection of horror titles that can be found among them is still somewhat paltry, it’s beginning to get interesting. So rather than cover each new title or batch of titles, we’re going to use this handy guide instead.

I’ll keep this up-to-date so all you need to do when you’re itching to play something spooky from the era of the Xbox 360 is check back here to see what’s available.

Alan Wake
Alan Wake’s American Nightmare
Condemned: Criminal Origins
Dark Souls
Dead Space
Doom
Doom II
Doom 3: BFG Edition
Left 4 Dead
Left 4 Dead 2

A complete list can be found on Major Nelson’s blog, but that’s it for horror games. If you’d like to make that woefully sparse list a little less sad, Microsoft has left it up to the community to determine what comes next. So with that in mind, here are some horror games you may want to vote for.

Clive Barker

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”

“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.

“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
