Best Nintendo Switch Horror Games

It’s Friday the 13th of October, so what better day to update our list of the best spooky Switch games ahead of Halloween 2023? Enjoy!

Are you troubled by strange noises in the middle of the night? Do you experience feelings of dread in your basement or attic? Have you or your family ever seen a spook, spectre, or ghost?

If the answer is “no”… you obviously haven’t been playing any of the excellent horror games available on Nintendo Switch. There’s no shortage of scary games on the console, but you may well be wondering which are the best Switch horror games to load up when you’re in the house alone on a darkened night and in the mood for a fright.

We’ve rounded up the best scary games on Switch — in no particular order — to get that pulse racing. Not all of them are outright horror games, but each and every single one of these titles is a spooky treat in its own way. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
