What are the best open world games on PS5? One of the most common ways a game is structured these days is with an open world setting, giving you the freedom to explore its map with no restraints. They're very popular and have been for years, the result being a tonne of large scale, free-roaming titles with lots to see and do.

Open world games can come in all shapes and sizes, whether it's an enormous, sprawling epic like Elden Ring or GTA 5, or a more condensed sandbox experience like Judgment. The common thread, however big the games are, is an immersive world to get lost in, usually with no loading screens, letting you soak in the sights and explore at your own pace.

Some of them take you to real-world locations, such as Assassin's Creed Valhalla's tour of ninth century England, while others will immerse you in fantastical landscapes — Skyrim, Immortals Fenyx Rising, and many others fill that role. Whatever your choice, the best open world games on PS5 offer unparalleled freedom to toy with your surroundings and just exist in these virtual spaces.
