TL;DR: Save up to 60% in the Xbox Shocktober Sale, with discounted games and bundles on offer.


It's the spookiest time of the year, and that means it's the perfect time to invest in some horror games to give yourself the fright you're craving.

The best tech deal this week

The Apple iPhone 18 Pro is free right now with T-Mobile

New and classic classic horror titles such as Alien Isolation, Resident Evil 2, and State of Decay 2 have all been discounted for the rest of the month in Microsoft's Shocktober Sale. This shopping event runs until Oct. 31, and also includes popular games like Day Z, Dead by Daylight, World War Z, and much more.

If this sort of game really isn't your thing, don't fear, because Microsoft has also dropped the price of games like Bioshock Collection and Batman: Return to Arkham. Whether you're looking for something new, classic, scary, or not, this sale has it all.

Get spooky with the Xbox Shocktober Sale.
