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.
