In June 2022, Sony unveiled its revamped PlayStation Plus service, structured into three distinct tiers, offering subscribers an expansive library of games spanning PlayStation's rich history, from PS1 classics to PSP titles. This service caters to a wide array of gaming tastes, encompassing horror, platformers, RPGs, strategy games, and notably, it does not overlook open-world games.

Whether you're hunting for a PlayStation exclusive or a blockbuster third-party title, the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers are designed to satisfy most gamers' cravings. With such a vast selection, deciding where to begin can be daunting, especially when it comes to open-world experiences. PS Plus boasts a comprehensive lineup in this genre, featuring everything from first-person shooters to survival and role-playing games. Let's explore some of the best open-world games available on PS Plus.

It's important to note that while all the open-world games mentioned here are accessible via PS Plus Premium, some may not be included in the Extra tier.

The games are not ranked purely on quality; instead, new additions are prioritized in the list.
