The Predator movie franchise is now enjoying a resurgence thanks to the big hit that was Prey (2022). With a sequel in the works and another standalone Predator movie coming in the near future, we thought we’d hunt down the best Predator games of all time.
Shockingly, the Predator IP hasn’t been nearly as explored as the Alien franchise in video games, at least not on its own; most of the best Predator games ever are actually Alien vs. Predator titles.

9. Alien vs. Predator (Jaguar)
- Platforms: Atari Jaguar
- Developer: Rebellion
Rebellion’s history with the Alien vs. Predator IP is extensive and started shortly after the AvP comics became a pop culture sensation. Built as an exclusive game for Atari’s Jaguar console, 1994’s Alien vs. Predator was a high-profile release when it launched.
Of course, this game hasn’t aged well and was instantly improved upon by Rebellion’s second AvP project, but for a 1994 first-person shooter, a lot was achieved here. From the menacing visuals to the diversity of the gameplay across three different species, it was a highlight amidst far…
