Western Horror Survival Game Hauntsville Now Available on PlayStation 5

Brave the horrors of the Cursed West today in the supernatural co-op survival experience 

AUSTRIA- May 13, 2025 —After haunting players on PC, Hauntsville rides onto PlayStation 5 today, bringing its eerie blend of open-world survival, Western folklore horror, and online co-op to console players for the first time. Stranded in a cursed frontier town, players must build, hunt, craft, and survive against terrifying creatures lurking beyond the firelight. 

Stranded in a cursed frontier town during the height of the American West, players must build shelters, scavenge supplies, craft weapons, and survive against terrifying creatures inspired by North American folklore. From abandoned ghost towns to monster-infested wilderness, every journey into the Cursed West is a fight to stay alive.

Playable solo or in online co-op with up to four players, Hauntsville combines open-world survival gameplay with eerie atmosphere, exploration, and relentless supernatural threats lurking beyond the firelight.

Unlike traditional survival games, Hauntsville leans heavily into its Western horror identity, blending frontier survival with chilling folklore and isolation-driven tension. Whether defending a homestead through the night or venturing into the unknown for vital supplies, players must adapt quickly or risk becoming another lost soul swallowed by the frontier.

Key features include:

• Western Horror Survival: Experience a supernatural vision of the American frontier filled with dread and mystery.

• Online Co-op Multiplayer: Survive alone or ride with up to three friends in online multiplayer.

• Open World Exploration: Discover abandoned settlements, dangerous wilderness, and hidden secrets across the Cursed West.

• Folklore-Inspired Monsters: Face terrifying creatures drawn from North American myths and legends.

• Homestead Building & Crafting: Gather resources, craft equipment, and fortify against the horrors of the night.

Hauntsville is available now on PlayStation 5 for $18.99. PlayStation Plus members can also receive a 20% launch discount for a limited time.

Players can also continue their survival journey on Steam. Find all available platforms and ways to play Hauntsville now on the official indie.io store.
