Collider has published a curated list of the 15 scariest video games of all time, blending classic and modern titles across horror subgenres such as survival horror, psychological suspense and supernatural terror. The list, released on 16 July 2026, spans everything from well-known franchise entries to more obscure titles, and the outlet notes it is a personal selection rather than a definitive ranking, inviting readers to suggest their own additions.

Entries include the 2017 top-down survival horror game Darkwood, set in a mutating forest and praised for its restricted field of vision and unsettling sound design, and the atmospheric 2010 platformer Limbo, which follows a young boy through a surreal, monochrome nightmare in search of his sister. Also featured is 2001's Fatal Frame, a Japanese horror title notable for arming players only with a camera rather than conventional weapons. The full ranking continues with further titles not detailed in the excerpt provided.
