It`s nowhere near Halloween, but that`s not stopping Microsoft from dropping prices on horror games for Xbox One. Not that any real horror fan needs to wait for October to turn out the lights, pick up a controller, and crank the terror up to 11. Here are the most noteworthy deals in the Xbox One`s Un-Halloween Horror Spectacular Sale.If first-person frights are your jam, the Outlast series delivers them in spades. Outlast and Outlast 2 get huge discounts, with the first game dropping to $5 US/£4/$7 AU and the sequel sinking to $10 US/£8/$13 AU. Another first-person horror-fest--though with more story and less action than Outlast--is Layers of Fear. It`s on sale for $6 US/£5/$8 AU.Straight-up horror isn`t everybody`s thing. If thoughtful, creatively told stories about people dying is more your speed, you`ll want to check out What Remains of Edith Finch. Not only did it win the BAFTA for best game of 2017, but it`s also a gut-wrenching (and occasionally spooky) game. It`s on sale for $12 US/£10/$16 AU.The Jackbox Party Pack 3 contains a hilarious horror-themed trivia game that plays out like a Saw movie, and you can grab it for $17 US/£13/$22 AU.
