¿Looking for a plan for Halloween and are you subscribed to Game Pass? We have exactly what you need. At iGamesNews we have selected more than a dozen titles for you to play on your own or in company. Great games that you have available on console, PC and the Xbox Cloud Gaming cloud game that ask to be played at night or with the curtains off. And be careful, there is a lot and everything in our list.
Our plan has no two ways: just as we already selected the best horror games released in 2024, we now expand our sights to select more than a dozen games included in Microsoft’s video game service, adding our analyzes as a reference, yes. They have multiplayer and, also, where you can play them.
In fact, it doesn’t hurt to remember that if one tempts you, there is also the option of playing it from mobile phones or your web browser without installations or hardware. We have included the direct link to play in the cloud each game included, which opens very interesting doors in order to improvise games starting today or bounce between different games with a view to Halloween and, already, stay late that day to take advantage of the fact that November 1st is a holiday . A seamless plan.
Amnesia: The Bunker
The last episode of the saga Amnesia is synonymous with environmental horror and survival in its purest state: Frictional Games takes the lessons learned in its acclaimed saga and transfers its first-person formula to an extremely hostile environment: a bunker in the middle of the First World War. One in which there is hardly any ammunition and, as I tell you, it won’t just be us and the rats.
Among Us
A Halloween classic! Among Us is a simple multiplayer and puzzle title that invites us to play with friends or strangers to fix a spaceship or different science fiction environments. The interesting thing here is that at least one of our companions is an imposter and, in a sibylline way, he will be sabotaging and murdering the rest until he is caught red-handed.
Dead Space
The classic space horror game from Electronic Arts returns, taking full advantage of the technology of current systems. Like an engineer aboard a huge extraction ship, we will have to desperately navigate nightmares and disasters. If you liked the original, you are going to be amazed by its remake. And if you didn’t know him… Prepare for the worst!
Resident Evil 2 y Resident Evil 3
If we get technical we have included two games, but if we value the weight and excellence of each one they are two masterpieces of Survival Horror that shaped the genre, popularized the zombie invasion on consoles and PCs and whose remakes are not only up to the task, but they raise the bar. The plan in both titles is to escape from a cursed and infested city, but none of the three stories told (we will play as Leon, as Claire and as Jill) will leave you indifferent.
Still wakes the Deep
In terms of duration, Still wakes the Deep It is one of the shortest games on our list. However, that makes it add additional points if what we want is a story broadly inspired by classics like The Thing by John Carpenter or the legacy of Stanley Kubrick and which is set on an oil platform in the middle of the ocean. One that, in addition to being cursed, is falling apart.
The Callisto Protocol
Were you waiting for a special occasion to give your spiritual successor a chance? Dead Space? The occasion couldn’t be better: The Callisto Protocol It is synonymous with classic Space Horror by the standards of today’s games. Two tips if you are going to play: put on headphones and keep the lights off.
Bonus Stage: Redfall
Con Redfall Something curious happens to us: as a horror game you will hardly have any shocks and it is not among the best cooperative shooters on Game Pass. However, if there is a title whose reason for being is to be played at least once a year, with a friend and for Halloween, it is Bethesda’s vampire nightmare. So, at a minimum, we include it as a Bonus Phase in our list.
The Evil Within y The Evil Within 2
We passed the halfway point of our selection but we couldn’t forget about Bethesda’s genuine horror legacy. Above all, with the two installments of a The Evil Within which he aspired to with the signing of Shinji Mikami who opted to evolve the survival horror genre. Two nightmares, if we have the sequel, which you have to play no matter what if you are subscribed to Game Pass.
Dead By Daylight
Let’s be honest: every day is Halloween in Behavior’s asymmetrical multiplayer. The idea is to bring together five players, one of them is an invincible killer and the rest are survivors who must do everything possible to escape in scenarios inspired by the slasher movies of the 80s and 90s, including collaborating in desperation. And be careful, there are lots based on practically all the big horror franchises.
Ghostwire Tokyo
In our list not everything is zombies, vampires and psychopaths: through Ghostwire Tokio We give a more than deserved place to the spirits and demons belonging to Japanese folklore from the hand of Tango and Bethesda no less. A game in which you will immerse yourself in the paranormal and, in the process, it will take you to the darkest and most gruesome places in the Japanese capital.
State of Decay 2: Juggernaut Edition
Action, extreme survival and open world with elements of permadeath: the sequel to State of Decay is one of the best apocalypses in the form of a multiplayer video game and, despite the fact that there is no relationship with The Walking DeadAs a zombie survival simulator, it has modes and content to engage in missions and play until next year. Hopefully, until the release of the third part.
Dead Island 2
One of the big surprises of 2023. Dead Island 2 It was delayed for years, but its bid to fight our way through waves of undead across Los Angeles and the west coast of the United States is as frenetic as it is visceral and entertaining. Borrowing what you expect from a zombie game and the essence of cinema released directly to video stores.
We close our list with Call of Duty Black Ops 6. Or, more specifically, with the Zombies mode of the recently released Activision shooter. The premise is similar to many of the games you have seen before, in which we will have to shoot our way through large environments infested with the undead alone or accompanied by other players. However, the gunplay of its creators ends up making that difference that makes it so recommended. And be careful, you also have Modern Warfare 3’s zombies mode.
