Sony's revamped PlayStation Plus, launched in June 2022, offers a tiered subscription system granting access to a vast library of PlayStation games, spanning various genres and generations, including PS1 and PSP titles. This extensive catalog naturally includes a strong selection of open-world games, catering to diverse tastes from first-person shooters to RPGs and survival experiences. Both the Extra and Premium tiers boast a wealth of open-world options, but choosing where to begin can be overwhelming. This guide highlights some of the best open-world games available on PlayStation Plus.
Note that while all featured open-world games are included in the Premium tier, availability may vary for the Extra tier. The games are not ranked strictly by quality, and recently added titles are prioritized.
This list was updated January 13, 2025, to include a noteworthy, albeit divisive, open-world game added to the PlayStation Plus Essential lineup for January 2025.
