If you only buy one zombie game for your PS4, make it Days Gone, or Dying Light if you'd rather run across rooftops than ride a motorbike. They are the two best-reviewed games on this list and both cost under €5 this morning, although only as accounts. If you want a copy that stays yours for very little money, Zombie Army Trilogy is €4.99 (no fees) as a PSN Key on the PlayStation Store, and Back 4 Blood is €10.68 (no fees) on disc at Amazon FR.
We went through the 54 PS4 games in our catalogue whose PC version Steam tags as Zombies and that had at least two offers in stock, and kept the twelve where the dead are the point of the game rather than a backdrop. Review scores come from Steam users and refer to the PC version, since PS4 games have no public score we can quote. A PS5 runs most PS4 games, but if you've already upgraded, we have a separate list of zombie games for PS5.
Four players against the horde
Back 4 Blood is by Turtle Rock, the studio behind Left 4 Dead, and plays like it: four cleaners moving from one safe room to the next, with a card system that tweaks your build and the level's rules. Steam reviews are Mixed, 69% of 55,414, but at €10.68 (no fees) for the disc at Amazon FR it's an easy recommendation. The PlayStation Store still asks €69.99 (no fees) for the PSN Key, and Difmark sells it as an account for €3.18 with code Gocdkeys (€3.32 with fees). An account means you get the login to someone else's PSN account that owns the game: you download it on your console, but it isn't in your name, and it goes if the seller ever takes the account back. You'll see a lot of them below.
World War Z takes the swarms from the film: hundreds of zombies piling onto each other to climb a wall while four of you hold a chokepoint. It's a third-person shooter with classes and missions spread across several cities. 82% of 25,513 positive on Steam. The disc at Amazon UK is €28.99 (no fees), a euro less than the €29.99 (no fees) PSN Key, and the Difmark account is €12.59 with code Gocdkeys (€13.16 with fees).
Killing Floor 2 isn't strictly about zombies: the Zeds are clones that escaped from a lab in Europe. The structure is pure wave survival, though. You pick a perk, earn cash between rounds, buy better guns at the trader and get ready for the boss at the end. 88% of 87,416 positive. The account costs next to nothing, €2.09 with code Gocdkeys (€2.18 with fees); the disc is €18.74 (no fees) at Amazon FR and the PSN Key €29.99 (no fees).
Zombie Army Trilogy is the Sniper Elite spin-off: three campaigns of undead Nazis, a horde mode and the same slow-motion kill cam, for up to four players. 85% of 14,367 positive on Steam. Here the account makes no sense. The Zombie Army Trilogy PS4 key costs €4.99 (no fees) on the PlayStation Store, and the Difmark account saves you about a euro, €3.52 with code Gocdkeys (€3.68 with fees).
Days Gone, Dying Light and Dead Island 2: three open worlds overrun
Days Gone puts you on Deacon St. John's bike in a post-pandemic Oregon. Fuel, repairs and ammo are always running short, and the Freakers move in hordes so big that your first instinct is to turn around. Clearing a sawmill full of them with traps and molotovs is the sort of thing you remember long after the credits. 92% of 83,533 Steam reviews of the PC version are positive. The problem is the format: the cheapest offer is a Difmark account at €4.11 with code Gocdkeys (€4.29 with fees), and the only PSN Key in stock costs €48.17 (€52.54 with fees).
Dying Light is the best-rated game here, with 95% of 377,261 reviews positive on Steam. It is first person, built around parkour across the city of Harran, and it has a simple rule that changes how you play: by day you scavenge and craft weapons, at night the infected get faster and far more dangerous, and you spend it hiding or running for a safe house. Digitally, only accounts are available: Difmark has it for €4.49 with code Gocdkeys (€4.69 with fees), while the one disc in stock, at Amazon UK, is a silly €71.37 (no fees).
Dead Island 2 is the loud, gory one. A virus has turned Los Angeles into a city of zombies in swimwear and gym gear, and the combat is mostly up close, with improvised weapons you upgrade on workbenches. Steam players rate it Mostly Positive, 77% of 24,201. On PS4 it has more options than anything else here. The PlayStation Store wants €49.99 (no fees) for the PSN Key, the Day One Edition disc at Amazon UK is €17.83 (no fees), and the Difmark account is €7.89 with code Gocdkeys (€8.25 with fees). These are the live offers:
For playing alone with the lights off
Resident Evil 3 is Capcom's remake. Jill Valentine is trying to get out of Raccoon City while Umbrella sends Nemesis after her, and he keeps turning up when you least want him. The campaign is short and tense, and the package also includes Resident Evil Resistance, a 1-versus-4 online mode. 84% of 92,311 positive on Steam. The disc is €26.13 (no fees) at Amazon FR, cheaper than the €39.99 (no fees) the PlayStation Store asks. The Difmark account is €5.89 with code Gocdkeys (€6.16 with fees). If you're after psychological horror instead, Resident Evil 7 is in our list of psychological horror games for PS4.
The Last Stand: Aftermath is a different kind of solo game: a roguelite where you play an infected survivor who heads out into the wasteland knowing he won't last, and what you unlock carries over to the next survivor. It comes from the makers of the old Last Stand browser games. 80% of 6,158 positive on Steam. The PSN Key is €24.99 (no fees) on the PlayStation Store, against €10.49 with code Gocdkeys (€10.96 with fees) for the Difmark account.
Building, holding out and planning ahead
7 Days to Die is crafting, scavenging and fortifying, with a horde that comes for your base every seventh night. Keep in mind that the PS4 edition is the old console port and doesn't match the current PC game, so the Steam score (87% of 275,327 positive) is less useful than usual here. There's no PSN Key: the disc at Amazon UK is €19.04 (no fees), and the only account in stock is at G2A for €14.41 (€14.70 with fees). We'd take the disc.
They Are Billions is the one strategy game. You build a steampunk colony, wall it in and defend it against hordes of infected, and a single gap in the wall can finish a game you've been playing for an hour. 85% of 46,427 positive on Steam. The PSN Key is €29.99 (no fees); the Difmark account, €12.59 with code Gocdkeys (€13.16 with fees).
Stubbs the Zombie, or the other side of the outbreak
Stubbs the Zombie in Rebel Without a Pulse flips everything above: you are the zombie, a travelling salesman dug up in a fifties-style town of the future, and you build your horde by biting the locals. It's a comedy and plays like one. 89% of 1,822 positive on Steam, though from fewer reviews than the rest. The PSN Key is €19.99 (no fees) today, but it was €2.99 (no fees) on 22 October, so set a price alert for Stubbs the Zombie and wait for it to drop again. The Difmark account is €1.99 with code Gocdkeys (€2.08 with fees).

For a cheap start that's fully yours, Zombie Army Trilogy on PSN Key and Back 4 Blood on disc come to €15.67 (no fees) together. If you also play on a computer, we did the same with the best zombie games on PC.
