261 horror games on Steam with co-op or multiplayer, ranked by how many people are playing right now and how well they review.
Horror is better with a witness. Phasmophobia, Lethal Company, R.E.P.O. and The Outlast Trials are built for small groups whispering on voice chat; Dead by Daylight is the asymmetric standard where one friend hunts the other; Dying Light and The Forest are co-op campaigns that happen to be terrifying. SCP: Secret Laboratory and Barotrauma are the chaotic, everyone-screaming end of the hub. Most of these are cheap, most of them are short-session, and most of them depend entirely on the people you play with — which is why player counts matter here more than reviews, and the ranking treats them that way. Ready Up's Play Now mode has an 'Intense' mood filter that leans on this category when you want a scare tonight; the bracket can be limited to horror only when you're sure.
