PlayStation Store just launched its epic Halloween sale, which offers can’t-miss discounts on some of the best horror games on PS5. These are some of the best PS5 game deals I’ve seen all year, and fans of all things spooky are seriously spoilt for choice.

As a dedicated fan of survival horror experiences, picking a favorite discount isn’t easy, but it’s hard not to be excited about Resident Evil 4 for $19 (was $39). That’s the lowest price ever for one of the best PS5 games. Plus, the gothic Soulslike Lies of P is now just $35 (was $59), which is a phenomenal price for my personal pick for Game of the Year 2023.

Other top discounts include interactive slasher flick The Quarry for $9 (was $69), PSVR 2 exclusive The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR for $17 (was $29) and Five Nights at Freddy’s: Help Wanted - Full Time Edition for $20 (was $29). And these are just a few of the more than 1,000 deals available now.

To help you pick out the true treats (and avoid the tricks), I’m rounding up my favorite discounted PS5 games below. Plus, I’m also highlighting the best deals at online retailers for gamers who are looking for some non-scary game deals.
