Sony's revamped PlayStation Plus, launched in June 2022, offers a tiered subscription service granting access to a vast library of games spanning PlayStation's history, encompassing PS1 and PSP titles. This extensive catalog boasts diverse genres, from horror and platformers to RPGs and strategy games, with a significant selection of open-world adventures. PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers, in particular, cater to a wide range of player preferences, including those seeking both PlayStation exclusives and popular third-party titles.
Choosing from such a massive library can be daunting, especially when focusing on open-world games. PS Plus features a broad selection within this genre, covering everything from first-person shooters to survival and RPG experiences. This list highlights some of the best open-world games available on PS Plus.
Note that while all featured open-world games are available on the PS Plus Premium tier, some may not be included in the Extra tier. The games are not ranked strictly by quality, and newer additions are prioritized.
Updated January 13, 2025 by Mark Sammut: January 2025's PS Plus Essential lineup includes a divisive open-world title. While not universally appealing, its inclusion warrants mention during its availability.
