What started initially as an indie-horror game has become a global phenomenon with it recently getting a Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s movie adaptation<\/a> and if you\u2019re just jumping in, we have the FNAF games in release date and chronological order.<\/p>\n

FNAF creator Scott Cawthorn has clearly been busy since the original came out in 2014 with 10 main entries and a number of spin-offs to flesh out the animatronic nightmare.<\/p>\n

He also served to help influence the film<\/a> so the production team would do the series justice. The film certainly stayed true to its roots as we covered in our Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s review<\/a> but the darkness and violence of the games are muted somewhat resulting in a \u201csanitised interpretation\u201d.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still plenty more to come though with FNAF: Help Wanted 2 coming to PlayStation VR 2 in December 2023. Anyone who has only seen the film and dives in is likely to be in for quite the shock.<\/p>\n

With all that said, there\u2019s more like 50 Nights at Freddy\u2019s to get through so read on to see how to jump into the spooky series!<\/p>\n

FNAF games in release date order<\/b><\/h2>\n

The Five Nights at Freddy\u2019s franchise began back in 2014 and later this year we\u2019re set to be playing its 10th mainline release already. If you\u2019re brand new to the horror game series, it\u2019s recommended that you play them in release date order, just as everyone who has been playing from the start has been doing.<\/p>\n

Here is the complete list of FNAF games in release date order:<\/p>\n
