In June 2022, Sony launched its revamped PlayStation Plus service, which is divided into three tiers, offering subscribers access to a vast library of games spanning PlayStation's rich history, including classics from the PS1 and PSP eras. This service not only celebrates the legacy of the PlayStation brand but also caters to a wide array of genres, from horror and platformers to RPGs and strategy games. Importantly, PlayStation Plus does not fall short in the open-world gaming category, ensuring enthusiasts have plenty to explore.

Whether you're in the market for a PlayStation exclusive or a blockbuster from a third-party developer, the PS Plus Extra and Premium tiers have you covered. With such an extensive catalog, deciding where to begin can be daunting, especially when it comes to open-world games. Fortunately, PS Plus offers a comprehensive selection that includes first-person shooters, survival games, and role-playing adventures. Let's delve into some of the best open-world games available on PS Plus.

It's worth noting that while all the open-world games mentioned are accessible through PS Plus Premium, not all are included in the Extra tier.
