About Open-World Games
Open-world games hand you a large, freeform space and let you set your own path through it, exploring and stumbling into the unexpected instead of following a fixed line. On PlayStation that spans open-world crime sandboxes like Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2, samurai and pirate epics, post-apocalyptic survival, superhero cities, and open-world RPGs. Every pick here has a genuine open world you actually explore, not just a large map, and is ranked by player ratings and critic reception so the standouts rise to the top. If it is specifically character builds, skill-trees, and role-playing depth you want, our companion Best Open-World RPGs list covers that ground.
