How to Enjoy Terror on Xbox to the Fullest this Halloween

From Generación Xbox, we recommend playing with headphones, turning down the lights, and putting your phone aside. Immersive sound and a dark atmosphere are essential for making every creak, every breath, or every shadow feel more real.

And if you want to elevate the experience to the maximum, activate the night mode on your TV or monitor, close the door, and let tension do its job. Because this month, fear is better lived in third person… and with the console turned on.
