In June 2022, Sony launched its revamped PlayStation Plus service, which is divided into three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. This innovative subscription model grants access to an extensive library of games spanning PlayStation's rich history, from classics on the PS1 to titles from the PSP. PS Plus caters to a wide range of gaming preferences, including horror, platformers, RPGs, and strategy games. Notably, the service also boasts a strong selection of open-world games, ensuring that fans of expansive environments and immersive gameplay have plenty to explore.
For those seeking either PlayStation exclusives or popular third-party titles, PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers offer a comprehensive collection that should satisfy most gamers. With such a vast array of choices, deciding which open-world game to dive into can be daunting. Fortunately, PS Plus covers a broad spectrum of open-world experiences, from first-person shooters to survival and role-playing games. Let's explore some of the top open-world games available on PS Plus.
It's important to note that while all the open-world games mentioned are accessible through PS Plus Premium, not all are included in the Extra tier. Additionally, the games listed are not ranked purely on quality but rather highlight new additions first.
