In June 2022, Sony launched its revamped PlayStation Plus service. Divided into three tiers, it offers subscribers a vast library of games spanning PlayStation's history, encompassing PS1 and PSP titles. This extensive catalog celebrates the brand's legacy while boasting diverse genres, including horror, platformers, RPGs, and strategy games. Naturally, open-world games also feature prominently.
Whether you're seeking PlayStation exclusives or acclaimed third-party hits, PS Plus Extra and Premium cater to a wide range of tastes. The sheer volume of available titles, however, can make choosing a starting point difficult, especially within the open-world genre. PS Plus offers a diverse selection in this category, ranging from first-person shooters to survival and RPG experiences. Let's explore some of the best open-world games currently available on PS Plus.
Note that while all mentioned open-world games are included in the PS Plus Premium tier, some may not be available in the Extra tier. Furthermore, this list isn't strictly ranked by quality, and newer additions are highlighted first.
