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, including horror, platformers, RPGs, and strategy games, with a strong representation of open-world titles. PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers, in particular, provide a comprehensive selection for most players, regardless of preference for PlayStation exclusives or third-party hits.
Choosing from such a wide array can be daunting, especially when focusing on open-world games. PS Plus features a substantial number of open-world experiences, ranging from first-person shooters to survival and RPGs. 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, availability may vary on the Extra tier. The games are not ranked strictly by quality, and newer additions are prioritized.
