Sony's revamped PlayStation Plus, launched in June 2022, offers a tiered subscription service granting access to a vast library of PlayStation games spanning various eras and genres. This includes a substantial selection of open-world titles, catering to diverse tastes from first-person shooters to survival and RPG experiences. Choosing from this extensive catalog can be daunting, so this guide highlights some of the best open-world games currently available on PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers (note that some titles are Premium-only). The list prioritizes recent additions and doesn't strictly rank games by quality.
This list was updated January 13, 2025, to include a noteworthy, albeit divisive, open-world title added to the PS Plus Essential tier.
Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League (PS Plus Essential - January 2025)
This recently added title to the PS Plus Essential tier offers a unique, if controversial, open-world experience. Its inclusion warrants mention while it remains available.
