What are the best RPGs on PS Plus? Within its three tiers of membership, PS Plus is home to loads of quality role-playing games — or RPGs for short.

RPGs come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Some are much more traditional, featuring turn-based combat and fairy tale storytelling, while others feature full-on action combat, and more modern sensibilities. What's more, the genre can often be split between Japanese RPGs, like Final Fantasy, and Western RPGs, like Fallout.

In this guide, we're going to list the best RPGs available through PS Plus Essential, PS Plus Extra, and PS Plus Premium.

Like our other lists, the ratings and rankings of these RPGs are decided by the Push Square community. If your favourite RPGs aren't part of this list, you can use the search box below to rate them. You can also click the star icon next to each game on this list to apply your own rating. As such, this list will likely change over time, especially since some of these games may be removed from PS Plus, while other titles could get added.

Please note that a game must have at least 30 ratings for it to appear on this list.

Now then, let's get to it. These are the best RPGs on PS Plus, as ranked and rated by you.

40. Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS5

In a lot of ways, Assassin's Creed Valhalla is like a blend of Origins and Odyssey. Like Origins, there's much more focus on storytelling in this epic Viking saga. But like Odyssey, Valhalla leans heavily on expanded RPG mechanics, such as levelling up, equipment, and skill trees. You play as Eivor, a vision-haunted Viking warrior who leaves Norway to establish a new home in 9th century England. Featuring a lush open world stuffed with all kinds of landmarks and secrets, Valhalla is a real time-sink of a game, but its story-driven acts offer up some of the best characters and narrative beats in the entire series.

39. The Division 2 PS4

The Division 2 started life as a solid looter shooter sequel, but as with most of Ubisoft's service-based games, it's blossomed into something bigger and better. Through large content updates, this intense, open world third-person shooter continues to evolve. However, it's always been a great tactical game to play with pals as you traipse through a run-down Washington DC, offing enemies and gradually gaining better gear.

38. Kingdom Come: Deliverance PS4

If you're tired of fantastical RPGs, Kingdom Come: Deliverance is well worth checking out. This historically accurate adventure leans quite heavily into being a medieval simulator, forcing you to learn the ins and outs of methodical action combat, as well as the struggles of daily life. You play as an unlikely hero (or antihero, depending on your choices) — a peasant who ends up becoming a knight in service to the realm. Kingdom Come can be awkward in its design and its slow pace won't be for everyone, but with a bit of patience, it can be an engrossing adventure.

37. Immortals Fenyx Rising PS5

Developed primarily by the team that crafted the gigantic Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Immortals Fenyx Rising is an open world fantasy RPG with an emphasis on fluid combat and puzzle solving. You play as the customisable Fenyx — a hero tasked with ridding the realm of a corruption spread by Typhon — a key figure in Greek mythology. In fact, Immortals is heavily based on Greek myth, but the story's told through humorous character interactions and offbeat narration. As such, it can be a fun adventure for players of all ages.

36. Child of Light PS4

Billed as a playable poem, Child of Light is a gorgeous RPG that combines a painterly art style with rhyming narration and an engrossing story. Still unique today, you can play this lovely game alone or with a buddy. Either way, there's so much to enjoy here, with enjoyable combat and so many wonderful sights and sounds along the journey.

35. Deus Ex: Mankind Divided PS4

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided had a lot to live up to following up the hit series revival, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and it almost managed it. While it doesn't quite measure up in terms of its narrative, the immersive sim is still a strong sci-fi adventure with fantastic environments to explore and flexible gameplay the series is known for. While stealth is largely the way to go, you're given ample opportunities to go about objectives your own way.

34. Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below PS4

An incredibly enjoyable action RPG, Dragon Quest Heroes: The World Tree's Woe and the Blight Below is easily one of Omega Force's most polished productions, as it oozes charm that's amplified by fantastic presentation. Combat is accessible, satisfyingly punchy, and hides depth at higher levels of play, while there's plenty of content to keep you busy after you've seen the well paced story through. Even if you're not a fan of Warriors-style gameplay, we'd still heartily recommend Dragon Quest Heroes to anyone on the lookout for a joyous jaunt in a lovingly made fantasy world.

33. Fallout 4 PS4

Fallout 4 may be found lacking in the role-playing department, but the gameplay loop is absolutely top notch. Post-apocalyptic Boston makes for an especially dense open world setting, packed with all kinds of secrets and irradiated enemies. Meanwhile, much improved gunplay allows combat to flourish once you've established a specific character build, and V.A.T.S. — the mechanic that lets you slow time to aim your shots — remains one of Bethesda's best ever innovations. Technical quibbles and some dumb storytelling aside, Fallout 4 can keep you busy for hundreds of hours.

32. Lost Judgment PS4

Though it never reaches the same heights as its predecessor, detective thriller sequel Lost Judgment remains a great action RPG. With an intense story full of twists and carried by a brilliant cast of characters, the game is your typical Yakuza-style thrill ride — but it's actually the ridiculous amount of impressively varied side content that drives Yagami's sophomore case. An expanded, satisfying combat system is worthy of note as well.

31. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition PS5

One of the most enduring games in history, Bethesda's iconic RPG comes to PS5 with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Anniversary Edition. What's more, it's quite simply the best version of Skyrim to ever grace a PlayStation console. This is a real cut above previous versions (which were often riddled with bugs), offering a mostly locked 60 frames-per-second at 4K resolution. It's taken a decade, but Bethesda has finally delivered a smooth experience with this PS5 release — and crucially, the game is still a fantastic, enormous RPG well worth playing today.
