What are the best PS Plus games? PS Plus is Sony's flagship subscription service for PS5 and PS4, providing online multiplayer functionality, cloud saves, and PS Store discounts. PS Plus also includes access to hundreds of games included at no extra cost, spanning three distinct subscription tiers: PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, and PS Plus Premium. You can learn more about all three options and their various benefits with our PS Plus Memberships: All Three Tiers Explained guide – make sure to get a discount on your PS Plus membership once you've made your choice.

For this page, we're showcasing the best games across all three tiers of PS Plus. That means there are some caveats to keep in mind: PS3 games, for example, are only available for PS Plus Premium members via cloud streaming. Some games are also only part of PS Plus in specific regions, and in instances where that applies, they'll be designated a regional flag next to their subscription tier.

Remember, if you're looking for a full list of All PS Plus Games, then you'll find that through the link. Also, if you feel your favourite is missing from this page, then remember that you can rate any game using the search box below. Your ratings will influence the rankings below, but of course a game will need to be available in an existing PS Plus subscription tier in order to be eligible.

Please note that a game will also need at least 50 ratings before it will appear on this list, so if one of your favourites is missing for whatever reason, that will be why. It's just to keep things consistent and fair across the board.

With all of that said, here's our list of best PS Plus games — as selected by you.

100. Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time (PS3)

While it wasn't developed by series creator Sucker Punch, platformer Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time follows the blueprint established by the Seattle studio almost beat-for-beat. That means you should expect a tight platformer, filled with vibrant sandbox-style levels, simple stealth gameplay, and lots and lots of minigames. The variety is good and the cel-shaded art direction is gorgeous, making for a bright and breezy romp overall.

99. Ape Escape (PS1)

Ape Escape is a PlayStation classic. Built with the then brand new DualShock controller in mind, this is one of those early 3D action platformers that was still experimenting with the idea of analog sticks. While the controls show their age these days, the game itself is still a blast. Varied, tightly designed levels are filled with the titular apes, and it's your job to round them all up with Spike's array of primate-grabbing gadgets. A colourful, lighthearted game that deserves its spot in gaming history.

98. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus (PS4)

As is the case with DOOM, Bethesda’s staked its claim as the masters of reviving old-school first-person franchises. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus has all of the camp European eccentricities of its predecessor, but it presents them all in the context of a Nazi occupied United States. With bone-rattling gunplay and an engaging storyline, B.J. Blazkowicz is not past it yet.

97. Shadow of the Tomb Raider (PS4)

The conclusion to Crystal Dynamics' contemporary Tomb Raider series, Shadow of the Tomb Raider sees iconic protagonist Lara Croft saving the world from a near-doomsday disaster. There's a greater emphasis on platforming and puzzle solving in this instalment, and while the story's not necessarily the best, fans of cinematic action adventure titles will have a blast.

96. Sackboy: A Big Adventure (PS5)

With creator Media Molecule focusing its attention elsewhere, LittleBigPlanet’s whimsical weaved hero deserved his Super Mario 3D World moment. Sackboy: A Big Adventure doesn’t pull up any trees like its predecessors, but is instead a robust co-operative platformer with some memorable musical moments. With a cutesy DIY aesthetic and some surprisingly tight action, it excels in an area that Sony has often been accused of overlooking: fun for the whole family.

95. Assassin's Creed Odyssey (PS4)

Assassin's Creed Odyssey is much more of an open world RPG than it is a traditional Assassin's Creed title. The second instalment in the series' "open world trilogy", this ancient Greek adventure may overlook a lot of the game design that defined its predecessors, but there's no denying that its interlocking RPG systems make for a deep and engaging experience. Levelling up, loot, skill trees, and randomised elements like bounty-hunting mercenaries all play a part across a truly gigantic map. The story's not bad either, as protagonist Alexios or Kassandra embarks on a branching journey to learn the truth about his or her legendary bloodline.

94. Wolfenstein: The New Order (PS4)

Wolfenstein is a legendary franchise, but in this contemporary entry, developer MachineGames dragged it into the 21st century. Visceral combat and a sprawling single player campaign, packed with memorable locations, make The New Order one of the better FPS games on the PS4.

93. Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee (PS1)

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee not only taught a generation the wrong way to spell "odyssey", it also represented Sony's gambit of releasing diverse, interesting, and unusual games on PS1. This strange sci-fi adventure casts you as the downtrodden Abe who, against all odds, breaks free from the corporate machine and rebels against it. The combination of puzzle solving and platforming is still pretty unique today, and the game itself remains a cult favourite among PlayStation die-hards.

92. Cyberpunk 2077 (PS5)

Following a disastrous PS4 launch, Cyberpunk 2077 might as well have been a brand new game on PS5 over a year later. CD Projekt Red stuck to its guns, delivering a much improved version of the open world RPG on Sony's current-gen console, free of the game-breaking bugs and crashing issues that plagued the initial release. The result is memorable and often engrossing dark future title, peppered with great characters, punchy combat, and some excellent freeform mission design. Better late than never!

91. The Last Guardian (PS4)

From the team behind ICO and Shadow of the Colossus, you shouldn't overlook The Last Guardian. This third game in the loosely connected trilogy has just as much heart and impact as the others — not to mention one of the most technically impressive AI companions yet seen. Playing as a small boy, you and a large, mysterious creature called Trico must escape from a crumbling, enigmatic place full of dangers. The bond you'll form with Trico — who gradually learns to trust and listen to you more as the game goes on — is unlike any other in video games, leading to an incredibly emotional and touching adventure.

90. The Evil Within 2 (PS4)

Bigger and better than its predecessor, The Evil Within 2 opts for more open environments to set its horror scares in as opposed to the dark, tight corridors of the original. This results in a much better experience with more player freedom, questions, and options — it's sort of a hidden gem at this point. Horror aficionados owe it to themselves to check out The Evil Within 2.

89. Gravity Rush Remastered (PS4)

Sony ported over the beautiful PS Vita classic Gravity Rush and gave it an even more stunning facelift for PS4. This is the original game, complete with all its DLC, allowing you to fly about the land and turn the world upside down without the need for Sony's second handheld. It's a fantastic adventure more than worth experiencing, and then you can play the just as good sequel.

88. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3)

Before there was Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Ninja Theory made a name for itself with action-adventure title Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. A beautiful journey through a post-apocalypse more about greenery and foliage than the downbeat landscapes of war-torn locations, combat and platforming are at the heart of the experience. It's still more than worth experiencing all these years later.

87. Dishonored: Definitive Edition (PS4)

Arkane's debut game, Dishonored, remains one of its best, and this Definitive Edition lets you play an optimal version. Casting you as a supernatural assassin in a corrupt world, you get to explore a series of vast, open stages that really let you approach them in your own way. A combination of excellent mission design, a flexible suite of powers and weapons, and an intriguing story make for a true modern classic. The Definitive Edition finishes it all off with improved visuals and all the game's DLC, making for a great package.

86. DOOM Eternal (PS5)

If you like your first-person shooters fast, demanding, and bloody, DOOM Eternal is the peak. A fantastic gameplay loop means you're constantly on the move and playing aggressively, earning more ammo and health by getting right up in those demonic faces and literally ripping them a new one. On PS5, it's somehow even better, with three visual modes — including one with ray tracing — and DualSense support. A brilliant FPS that really sings on Sony's current hardware.

85. Assassin's Creed Origins (PS4)

A stunning recreation of ancient Egypt is the backdrop for Assassin's Creed Origins — a game that redefined Ubisoft's series. Going full open world and throwing a bunch of RPG systems into the mix, Origins breathed new life into Assassin's Creed after Unity and Syndicate struggled to leave a lasting impression. Origins follows the surprisingly emotional story of Bayek, a determined mystic and warrior, who, with the help of his estranged wife Aya, establishes the Hidden Ones — the precursor organisation that would one day become the Assassin Brotherhood.

84. South Park: The Fractured But Whole (PS4)

What do you get if you cross Ubisoft, superheroes, and a bunch of foul-mouthed friends made of felt? The answer is South Park: The Fractured But Whole, of course. This sequel to the also brilliant South Park: The Stick of Truth swaps out fantasy for modern vigilante justice, as your custom character joins forces with Cartman's crew to fight evil. Featuring strategic turn-based combat, the titular town to explore, and all the absurd humour you'd expect, this is a highly entertaining game for fans and newcomers.

83. Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name (PS5)

Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name covers yet another chapter in Kazuma Kiryu's action-packed life. This is a 'shorter' experience that adds context to Yakuza: Like a Dragon by expanding upon the behind-the-scenes events of its main story. But unlike Ichiban's adventure, Gaiden goes back to full-on action combat in what almost feels like a celebration of Kiryu as a character. It doesn't quite have the scope of a mainline instalment, but Gaiden is still a fantastic and surprisingly emotional example of SEGA's long-running series.

82. Days Gone (PS4)

After several years working on handhelds like PS Vita and PSP, Bend Studio marked its return to home consoles with its ambitious open world adventure Days Gone. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the game’s biker motif made it stand out from the crowd, as your two-wheels became your sanctuary in an extremely hostile setting. A huge focus on story and some genuinely impressive tech allowed the developer to flex its muscle, and the release would go on to become a cult favourite among PS4 fans.

81. Nioh (PS4)

Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja's first attempt at creating a Soulslike actually worked out really well. Nioh is a more fast paced action RPG, set in a twisted feudal Japan, now overrun with all manner of monsters and demons. It's tough as nails, but an abundance of loot combined with satisfying combat makes for a moreish adventure. The story's surprisingly interesting as well, as main character William Adams comes face to face with various historical warlords.

80. PREY (PS4)

PREY made a valiant attempt to revitalise the franchise, and while it wasn't a big sales success, it remains an engrossing sci-fi thriller. You wake up aboard a mysterious space station, where you're the test subject for the betterment of humanity. Obviously, things go very wrong, and the station is overrun by hostile aliens. Featuring unique enemies, a non-linear location full of details, and imaginative new weapons, it's an atmospheric, tense first-person adventure that'll get under your skin.

79. Puppeteer (PS3)

Released just a very short while before the PS4 hit, Puppeteer never got the accolades it deserved. This inventive platformer plays a lot like a real puppet show, transitioning between scenes with enjoyable encounters and sequences between jumps and leaps. It's a really fun title; a true PS3 swansong.

78. Until Dawn (PS4)

Supermassive Games made a real name for itself with Until Dawn. This narrative adventure game effectively lets you partake in a schlocky teen horror movie, where your choices will have potentially grisly effects on the ensemble cast. With atmosphere to spare, lovably corny performances, and a highly replayable adventure full of outcomes to discover, it's no wonder this game is such a cult hit.

77. Control: Ultimate Edition (PS5)

Control pushed the limits of the PS4, delivering an intense third-person romp — but a technically flawed one. This return trip to the unorthodox Old House feels much more at home on the PS5, however, and while there are some strange difficulty spikes, Remedy’s unique brand of shooting shines throughout much of this engrossing outing. The oppressive setting, unnerving enemies, and wonderfully eerie atmosphere really come to life on Sony's current-gen machine, offering much improved visuals and performance.

76. Dreams (PS4)

If you can imagine it, you can probably make it in Dreams. Media Molecule's latest is an unbelievable creative suite that lets you build practically whatever you fancy. The toolset is intuitive and seamless, allowing users to make truly impressive things with nothing more than a PS4 controller. But that's only half the story; if you don't want to build things, you can happily spend hours and hours simply exploring what others have created. The game is chock full of amazing stuff, including the developer's own Art's Dream story. It's hard to condense Dreams into a single paragraph, but just know it's among the very best PS4 has to offer.
