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. Vampyr (PS4)

Vampyr is an interesting but flawed action RPG. Its grimy city setting and focus on player choice can quite easily hook you, but you'll have to stomach some janky combat and a few rough edges along the way. You play as a vampiric doctor, who essentially has to choose between preserving his humanity and helping the victims of a deadly flu outbreak, or giving in to his newfound lust for blood.

39. Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition (PS5)

Dark Souls, and its various spin-offs, has become a genre all of its own – and Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition proudly flaunts its FromSoftware influences on its armoured sleeve. This re-release may not reach the same highs as the Japanese developer’s iconic outings, but it’s unquestionably an entertaining alternative if you’re searching for another punishing role-playing release. With tight combat, versatile play-styles, and a rich world to explore, you could do worse than this demanding character action title.

38. Cris Tales (PS5)

A visually charming RPG, Cris Tales features interesting environments and some fairly unique turn based battle mechanics. Indeed, you're able to manipulate time in order to get the best of your enemies, opening up all kinds of clever strategies during important fights. The storytelling can be a little haphazard, though, and the difficult curve can feel inconsistent. A cautious recommendation for those seeking a relatively unique, if far from perfect RPG adventure.

37. Assassin's Creed Valhalla (PS4)

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is another enormous, sprawling, open world action RPG from Ubisoft. This one has you playing as Eivor, a fearsome viking warrior who leads a raid on England in the dark ages. With a vast map to explore, hefty combat, and a variety of things to do, this is an epic adventure you can sink dozens if not hundreds of hours into.

36. Tom Clancy's The Division (PS4)

If you like looting and equipping guns that make numbers go up, then you'll probably like The Division. Ubisoft's cover-based shooter-RPG sandbox is best enjoyed with friends in co-op, since playing with others lets you strategise with characters builds and tactical roles when fighting through waves of tough opponents. The game itself is set in a dilapidated New York City, which has been devastated by a deadly virus. Gangs now run the streets, and it's up to you to bring order back to the neighbourhood.

35. 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.

34. 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.

33. 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.

32. 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.

31. Dead Island 2 (PS5)

It took nearly 10 years to materialise, but against all odds, Dead Island 2 is a great zombie-slaying adventure. Set in Los Angeles, you work your way through various open levels as you fend off the undead with a wide variety of weapons and abilities. The story isn't anything too special, but the game makes up for it with gloriously gory action and a rounded, well-realised setting. If you just want to smash open some zombie skulls, look no further.
