Playstation psn games. 25 Best PlayStation 4 Games to Play Right Now

With Sony still releasing games on its last-gen console, it’s still a great time to play on PlayStation 4

Now in its tenth year on the market, PlayStation 4 — the second-best-selling home console of all time — has amassed an all-time great catalog of games. With a PS5 price bump outside of the U.S. and many publishers still releasing games on its last-gen console, it’s still a great time to play on PlayStation 4, and so we’ve created this list to highlight the best games the console has to offer.

The games below weren’t chosen lightly; this list was compiled by the entire IGN content team and — after plenty of internal debate — represents what we believe to be the best that the PlayStation 4 has to offer. Without further ado, these are our picks for the 25 best PlayStation 4 games.

The Best PlayStation 4 Games (Summer 2020 Update)

IGN’s list of the best games on Playstation 4. With the console’s last big exclusives in the rearview and the PS5 fast approaching on the horizon, we thought it was high time to take a fresh look at its library of games. This list was compiled by the entire IGN content team and. after plenty of internal debate. represents what we believe to be the very best that the PlayStation 4 has to offer. Please note that PSVR-only games weren’t eligible for this list. While we have loved plenty of experiences in Playstation VR, because there’s a second barrier to entry, and the intention of this list is that you could buy a PlayStation 4 and play any of these 25 games immediately, we have chosen to omit them from consideration (if you’ve got PSVR and need recommendations, though, you should definitely check out our list of the best PSVR games). Lastly, know that not we get that not every game could be included — it is a top 25, after all. And though many of our favorite games have been omitted, know that this list should set you up to have dozens and dozens of hours of fun, no matter what genre you enjoy. width= /

25. Nier: AutomataNier Automata delivers a ridiculously entertaining journey, full of awesome ideas, that is equal parts strange and beautiful. There are few games like Automata, which bounces between genres and styles with aplomb. Taking place in a futuristic dystopia, this action-RPG offers a roller coaster of different gameplay opportunities, wrapped up in a fascinating story with multiple endings that encourage poking into every corner of this engrossing world. There are few games that attempt what Neir: Automata does, and it’s absolutely worth checking out this Yoko Taro-directed adventure. width= /
24. Monster Hunter: WorldThe long-running Monster Hunter series broke through with the 2018 hit Monster Hunter World, which not only impressed us with its rewarding gameplay but also with how accessible the game proved to be. For a series that can take some learning to get the hang of, Monster Hunter World produced a fully realized, expansive world, which it only streamlined and expanded with 2019’s exceptional Iceborne expansion. width= / 23. Apex LegendsAmid the rise of the battle royale genre, Apex Legends manages to stand out, even as a later addition to the fray. Set in the universe of Respawn’s Titanfall series, Apex utilizes similar gameplay mechanics which give it a unique edge over other battle royale games. In addition to its faster pace, Apex incorporates the use of specific Legends who all have different skills and abilities that create the need for teams to work together and synergize between the different characters. Similar to how Overwatch operates, the roster of different heroes allows players to constantly change their playstyles in order to secure the win. With constant updates and new limited-time game modes being switched in and out, Apex Legends is a high-octane game that constantly leaves you wanting to go for just one more match.” width= / 22. Yakuza 0Yakuza 0 is the high bar for SEGA’s long-running open-world series, packed with an extraordinary amount of things to do and centred around a genuinely compelling crime story. Since it’s a prequel, it’s also unburdened by the series’ increasingly intricate backstory and thus supremely approachable for newcomers. While its melee combat may lag slightly behind modern genre standards, Yakuza 0 still hits far more than it misses and is a big, bold and bruising tour through the Japanese underworld. width= / 21. Tetris EffectHow do you make Tetris, one of the best-selling and arguably perfect games, even better? You add in dazzling light shows, music that reacts to your moves, and one of the most blissfully zen gaming experiences of the generation. Tetris Effect, even without its PSVR component, is a transcendent experience, making a stalwart of the video gaming medium fresh. Its Journey mode includes a couple dozen stages of memorable music, which melds to the blocks you move and place, with backgrounds that, quite literally, take you on a journey from the ocean depths to jungle and desert terrain to the reaches of space. There’s something almost spiritual to the experience, which doesn’t do anything to majorly twist the Tetris formula, but enhances it in a memorably powerful way. width= /

Nier: Automata

Nier: Automata delivers a ridiculously entertaining journey full of awesome ideas that is equal parts strange and beautiful. There are few games like Automata, which bounces between game genres and styles with aplomb. Taking place in a futuristic dystopia, this “action-RPG” offers a roller coaster of different gameplay opportunities, wrapped up in a fascinating story that has many multiple endings that encourage poking into every corner of this engrossing world. There are few games that attempt what Nier: Automata does, and it’s absolutely worth checking out this Yoko Taro-directed adventure.

Yakuza 0

Yakuza 0 is the high bar for SEGA’s long-running open-world series, packed with an extraordinary amount of things to do and centered around a genuinely compelling crime story.

Since it’s a prequel, it’s also unburdened by the series’ increasingly intricate backstory and thus supremely approachable for newcomers.

Dreams

Dreams is unlike anything else: an ambitious project that has been expertly brought to life by Media Molecule, and an audacious experiment in game design that gives you endless ways to enjoy your time with it. An incredible creative suite made up of tools that allow for and encourage ultimate expression, all inside of your PlayStation 4. The vast range of experiences on offer via Dream Surfing means that no two sessions playing it are ever the same, offering fresh ways to have fun every time you start it up and see what community creations have popped up while you’ve been away.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake

After a long wait, the 2020 remake of Final Fantasy 7 revitalizes one of the most beloved JRPGs of all time in a (mostly) successful and engaging way. This new version of Midgard probably isn’t just how your brain remembers it looking – it’s much better, with a stunning, detailed, and immersive exploration of the steampunk city. It’s a great way to dive into the Final Fantasy series.

Since part one of ‘Remake’ (subsequent releases will cover the rest of the original story) takes place entirely within Midgard, Square Enix is able to really spend time with the city’s ensemble cast, giving them more nuance and screentime to round out the adventure. And that’s on top of its stellar combat system, a marriage of real-time and more tactical, turn-based systems to create something that’s wholly unique and a joy to master. Part 2 can’t come soon enough.

FF7R Part 2, officially titled Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, is due out next winter. Final Fantasy 16 is available now as a PS5 exclusive.

Release Date: April 10, 2020 | Developer: Square Enix | IGN’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake Video Review | IGN’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake Wiki

Overwatch 2

Overwatch is a brilliant multiplayer shooter brimming with Blizzard’s charm and detail, and it’s one that Blizzard has impressively continued to support with new heroes and updates since its launch in 2016. Overwatch earned Game of the Year from IGN in its launch year, sweeping the IGN offices with multiplayer matches after work and at lunches (and sometimes during the workday) that have continued in the months and years since.

Blizzard’s rock-solid gameplay allows players in whatever role they play on a team to matter. And Blizzard’s impressive attention to detail has created a rich world of lore that permeates the experience, allowing those who just want a fun multiplayer experience to enjoy the action but offering those who want something more a wealth of character and location information to delve into.

Overwatch has now been replaced by Overwatch 2. Our review said the sequel breathes new life into what was once the sharpest shooter around. Overwatch 2 Season 5: Invasion launches August 10. But you may have to pay 15 for permanent access to Story Missions.

Ratchet Clank

The iconic Playstation franchise Ratchet and Clank only got better on PlayStation 4 with a beautiful, funny update of the duo’s first adventure. a remix of the original PS2 game than a straight remaster, there is a gorgeous level of detail to the lombax and robot’s adventure, which also makes some noted story improvements.

The titular duo’s initial meeting and budding friendship feels more fully formed and smartly written, while the series’ signature humor is in full force throughout. Veldin, Rilgar, and other worlds are beautiful, Pixar-like environments with plenty to explore, and modernizations made to the gameplay make the adventure as fresh as ever. And of course, Insomniac’s signature knack for wacky weapons is on full display in HD, from Mr. Zurkon to the Groovitron. Insomniac has obviously put its recent FOCUS on VR and Spider-Man, but this latest iteration proves Ratchet and Clank has plenty of life left in it.

PS5 exclusive Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart will be released on PC July 27.

Release Date: April 12, 2016 | Developer: Insomniac Games | IGN’s Ratchet Clank Video Review

What Remains of Edith Finch

One of the most heart-wrenching and visually dynamic adventure games of the generation, What Remains of Edith Finch is a must-play. While a game about recounting the death of each of Edith’s family members by exploring their bedrooms (turned memorial shrines) may sound like a bummer, the creative ways each memory gets explored keeps you entertained while the mystery of how this person died creates eerie suspense that will entice you to keep going. Each remembrance transports you to their stories and subsequent deaths, with moments ranging from playing on swingsets to, quite literally, bouncing between comic book panels. Striking, stylish, and hauntingly beautiful, What Remains of Edith Finch is one of the best experiences to be had on PlayStation 4.

Giant Sparrow’s next game will FOCUS on interactions between humans and urban wildlife. It’s currently in early development.

Release Date: April 25, 2017 | Developer: Giant Sparrow | IGN’s What Remains of Edith Finch Video Review | IGN’s What Remains of Edith Finch Wiki

Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End

Uncharted 4 is Uncharted all grown up; an examination of what happens when Nathan Drake’s Indiana-Jones-style antics come face to face with his adult responsibilities. It manages to reckon with this and then some, juggling delicate relationship dynamics with ridiculously fun action sequences and breathtaking vistas ripe for exploring and pillaging. Though it gets a little bogged down by an overly long final act, Uncharted 4 is still one of the best action-adventure games of all time, and one of the best Playstation 4 games ever.

See our guide on the Uncharted games in order for more of this series.

Release Date: May 10, 2016 | Developer: Naughty Dog | IGN’s Uncharted 4 Video Review | IGN’s Uncharted 4 Wiki

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is without question the most ambitious entry in the Metal Gear series. So ambitious, in fact, that it’s something of an unfinished masterpiece. While a lot of hardcore fans of the series were disappointed by the game’s scattered story, it’s hard to deny that the moment-to-moment gameplay is absolutely phenomenal. On top of rock-solid movement and a huge, sometimes literal, sandbox to explore, The Phantom Pain gives players a huge arsenal of weapons, vehicles, gadgets, and AI companions to approach missions creatively. As always, stealthy tactical gameplay is rewarded heavily, but if a mission goes sideways (or if you’re feeling squirrelly) the game doesn’t punish you too hard for getting get loud and messy. Even if you’ve never played another Metal Gear game, this is a hell of an experience. If the plot leaves you with a big question mark over your head, don’t feel left out. That’s part of the fun.

MGS 5 earned a spot on our list of the 10 best open-world games.

Resident Evil 2

Resident Evil fans were begging for a remake of the much-beloved Resident Evil 2 for over two decades. After the original RE1 received its stellar GameCube REmake all the way back in 2002, fans waited, and waited… and waited. When it eventually came, it was everything they dreamed of and more. The Resident Evil 7’s RE Engine was reworked into a third-person tour de force, showcasing intensely realistic gore with blood dripping from mangled zombies. Mr. X returned as a force to be reckoned with, its shooting mechanics were pitch-perfect, and terror was palpable throughout.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is available now. For more on the franchise, see where RE 2 landed on our list of the best Resident Evil games.

Release Date: January 25, 2019 | Developer: Capcom | IGN’s Resident Evil 2 Video Review | IGN’s Resident Evil 2 Wiki

Ghost of Tsushima

Sucker Punch’s latest adventure is dense with moving stories and striking visuals that make exploring its expansive take on 13th-century japan a joy. Its cast – across the English and Japanese languages – does an excellent job bringing Ghost’s complex tale of honor and loss to life, both in its 30 hour main campaign and all the side quests that eloquently mirror thematic aspects of your main journey.

While the stealth may be simple (and enemy AI less than stellar), combat is spectacular – a simple but nuanced exploration of Japanese swordplay that is still fun right up to your very last duel. Add all of this on top of one of the best (and most addictive) photo modes we’ve seen, and Ghost of Tsushima more than makes up for its late addition to the PlayStation 4’s library by being one of its best games.

Sucker Punch’s next project is another open-world game with stealth and action elements — perhaps Ghost of Tsushima 2? What has been confirmed is a Ghost of Tsushima movie. Directed by Chad Stahleski (John Wick), the movie will be a retelling of the game’s story.

Release Date: July 17, 2020 | Developer: Sucker Punch Productions | IGN’s Ghost of Tsushima Video Review | IGN’s Ghost of Tsushima Wiki

Red Dead Redemption 2

Both a stunning technical achievement and a gold standard for video game storytelling in an open-world setting, Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the greatest games Rockstar Games has ever made, and one of the greatest games ever, period. Red Dead Redemption 2’s world is a sprawling and stunning recreation of the wild west, packed so full of detail and activity it’s almost daunting; getting from A to B is virtually impossible without going off the beaten path to some other distraction. Said distractions are incredibly accomplished, too – side quests, mini-games, hunting, and gathering are all deeply considered parts of Red Dead 2 in their own right.

But of course, it’s Red Dead 2’s characters that stick in the memory most: Arthur Morgan, John Marsten, Sadie, Dutch, et. al. are vibrant, multi-faceted characters, their complex dynamics always shifting and changing, even if their trajectories are set in stone. Red Dead Redemption 2 is nothing short of a masterpiece.

In just four years, Red Dead 2 has earned a spot on the list of best-selling video games of all time.

Release Date: October 26, 2018 | Developer: Rockstar Games | IGN’s Red Dead 2 Video Review | IGN’s Red Dead 2 Wiki

Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

While Nathan Drake established himself as a compelling lead over the course of the four core Uncharted games, 2017’s Uncharted: The Lost Legacy proved that the same was true for Drake’s supporting cast.

Lost Legacy moved the spotlight to the unexpected duo of treasure hunter Chloe Frazer and mercenary Nadine Ross, and discovered there is a verve and chemistry in the cast even without Nate. Not only does Lost Legacy open the door for any number of spinoffs that FOCUS on other characters in the Uncharted game timeline, it features some of the best gameplay sequences the series has to offer.

Release Date: August 22, 2017 | Developer: Naughty Dog | IGN’s Uncharted: The Lost Legacy Video Review | IGN’s Uncharted: The Lost Legacy WIki

Control

An exceptional third-person shooter with a trippy supernatural twist, Control is not only our Game of the Year for 2019 but stands out as one of the most unique adventures of the generation. The seasoned team at Remedy Entertainment brought their years of experience to bear on one of the coolest ability/weapon sets in recent memory, which made for some of the most satisfying and frenetic telekinetic combat ever put to pixels. On top of its excellent super-powered gunplay, Control features some truly inspired environmental design, its Oldest House a shape-shifting labyrinth-like something from a fever dream shared by Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch. Throughout its monster-filled halls, you’ll undertake memorable side quests, hunt for upgrades to your abilities and gear, and hunt down a litany of collectibles that all help flesh out the eerie bureaucracy that’s at the center of Control’s impossibly unique experience.

Remedy is officially working on Control 2 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The studio is also developing a Control multiplayer game, the long-awaited Alan Wake 2, a free-to-play co-op shooter codenamed Vanguard, and remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2.

Release Date: August 27, 2019 | Developer: Remedy Entertainment | IGN’s Control Video Review | IGN’s Control Wiki

Marvel’s Spider-Man

Marvel’s Spider-Man is a masterclass in comic book joy, an expertly built world that perfectly encapsulates the child-like wonder of looking up at the looming, inspiring skylines of New York City and the superhero-like triumph of effortlessly scaling the tallest buildings in the Big Apple. It’s a game about Spider-Man made by people who deeply, truly, genuinely adore Spider-Man, from his costumes to his friends, foes, and family.

The simple act of soaring and flipping through the city is so satisfying and addictive that you’ll likely want to explore every corner of it and nab every collectible before even finishing the story. Once you do decide to settle down and move the narrative forward, you’ll find a heartwarming story of love and loss, awkward adolescence, and tons and tons of ass kicking. Along the way, you’ll unlock iconic Spider-Man suits, take down nefarious villains in gigantic, explosive setpieces, and bask in the realization that the modern comic book movie renaissance that we’re all so gleefully enjoying has finally, finally made its way back to video games.

Spider-Man 2 will release October 20, 2023. Insomniac and Marvel are also collaborating on a Wolverine game.

Release Date: September 7, 2018 | Developer: Insomniac Games | IGN’s Spider-Man PlayStation 4 Video Review | IGN’s Spider-Man PlayStation 4 Wiki

Horizon Zero Dawn

Horizon: Zero Dawn is one of the most beautiful open-world games ever crafted. Grass sways in the wind beneath blooming sunrises while towering cities formed from the ashes of a once prosperous society loom in the distance. And, most importantly, giant, awe-inspiring mechanical dinosaurs outfitted with a terrifying array of pseudo-natural weaponry roam the land, roaring, gnashing, and trampling their prey. When iconic Playstation developer Guerrilla Games revealed they were pivoting away from the Killzone franchise to make an open world robot dinosaur hunting game starring a warrior redhead outfitted like a space cake dealer at Burning Man, the world was cautiously optimistic.

The end result, thankfully, was a vast, wondrous, and unique open-world action game with just the right amount of RPG elements that come together to create a brilliant first entry into what we hope will become a pillar franchise for Playstation Studios. Taking down a gigantic boss with an active strategy of well-placed melee strikes and projectiles is one of the most thrilling experiences on Playstation 4, and looting the shrapnel of a downed robot for much-needed upgrade parts afterwards is equally satisfying. Horizon takes some of the best elements of existing open world games and weaves them together to make something wholly original, wonderfully refreshing and wildly fun.

Sony is reportedly working on a Zero Dawn PS5 remaster, as well as a Horizon multiplayer game. If you liked Zero Dawn, be sure to check out the excellent sequel, Horizon Forbidden West.

Release Date: February 28, 2017 | Developer: Guerilla Games | IGN’s Horizon Zero Dawn Video Review | IGN’s Horizon Zero Dawn Wiki

Grand Theft Auto 5 / GTA Online

Rockstar’s latest and greatest open-world felony simulator made its debut at the tail end of the last console generation, handily breaking records as the fastest-selling entertainment product in history, so it’s no surprise that it got ported to current-gen. What is surprising, perhaps, is just how much of an upgrade it got in the process. Uprezzed textures, totally overhauled lighting effects and a fully-functional first-person option were just some of the litany of updates and tweaks to the series’ biggest and best game yet.

Whether you’re after a sprawling single-player campaign that provides a ruthless skewering of 21st century American life, or a multiplayer component with years of big free updates and an extremely active community, or just a sandbox where you can do crimes either alone or with friends, Grand Theft Auto V and GTA Online really does offer something for everyone. Seriously, is there any other game where you can play the stock market, jump in a Mad Max death card and then trip on peyote so hard you turn into a bird?

Rockstar has officially confirmed GTA 6 is in development. It will reportedly feature a return to Vice City and star the series’ first female playable character in a Bonnie Clyde-inspired adventure — details that were seemingly corroborated by a massive GTA 6 leak. See our guide to the GTA game series for more details.

Persona 5 Royal

A massive, gorgeous JRPG, Persona 5 set a high bar for the genre, and 2020’s Persona 5 Royal re-release pushes that bar even higher. An engrossing adventure brimming with style and flair, Persona 5 sees you navigating school life by day and descending into the corrupted minds of Tokyo’s more villainous citizens by night in order to coerce them away from their corrupt endeavors.

The students who make up Persona 5’s ensemble cast leave an indelible mark as they are introduced and further become embroiled in the exploits of the Phantom Thieves. Persona 5 does a great job of balancing the two facets of its gameplay, letting players really dive into the social connections in the real world and allowing those to influence the dungeon exploration and turn-based action of its massive and varied mind palaces. Coupled with a continually engaging combat system, a soundtrack full of earworms, its twisty, wild story, and plenty of additional content on top of the base game, Persona 5 Royal delivers one of the deepest JRPGs of the generation, if not of all time.

Persona 5 has one of the longest video game stories of all time with an average playthrough of over 100 hours.

The 10 Best Open World Games

IGN’s staff duked it out (in a professional manner, of course) to put together a list of the best open-world games, looking at how they deliver as a complete package in letting us best get lost in a world, take over enemy outposts, and find a ridiculous way to outrun enemies. So without further ado, here are IGN’s picks for the top 10 open-worlds games. width= /

10. Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles MoralesNew York City around Christmastime is magic. And Insomniac has done an incredible job of recreating that charming atmosphere in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Every aspect of this follow-up to the 2018 Spidey hit is undoubtedly built on the great fundamentals of that first game. But the approach to the world, mission design, and story is altogether stronger in Miles Morales, even if there is less of it. But the FOCUS on a more select story and missions allows Miles’ journey to be so personally impactful on the player and character. It’s a fantastic debut solo outing for Miles, with improved and smoother traversal and combat options, a stirring story, and a host of intriguing, important things to do. And that’s all while looking and running so well, both on PS5 and PlayStation 4. Insomniac somehow captured the real-world magic of New York and imbued it into Spider-Man: Miles Morales, letting players experience it any time of year. width= /
9. Horizon Forbidden WestHorizon Forbidden West improves on the Zero Dawn experience in just about every way. Aloy’s new journey features a dense world full of meaningful sidequests, where each character and their stories offer a unique entry point into the world. And it’s a world that feels like it meaningfully lives and even evolves around Aloy and the player. And to better serve those sidequests, Guerrilla has extended the reach of Aloy’s world to the titular Forbidden West, with a host of memorable locations that offer insight into both the current tribes populating the world and the crumbled remains of our former civilization. Climbing traversal may not be as free as some other games on this list, but the ability to better search underwater and even take to the skies are welcome, joyous additions to the formula. Horizon Forbidden West is certainly built on the foundation of other open-world games, including Zero Dawn, but it’s an amazing step in pushing the genre forward and creating a captivating adventure in its own right. width= / 8. Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom PainMetal Gear Solid 5 is one of the best examples of how an open-world game should approach its challenges. There’s more than one way to go at any situation, and the result is a feeling of unprecedented freedom of choice. At its best, it’s pure play, reminiscent of smashing Army men together in a playground sandbox, but with a fantastic soundtrack and more than enough of Kojima eccentricity to make it feel even more special. While the story is ultimately unfinished, and it can’t hold itself together through to the end, the freedom it affords makes it incredible regardless of its narrative shortcomings. width= / 7. The Elder Scrolls 5: SkyrimIt’s been a long-running joke that Skyrim exists on almost every platform imaginable. From its humble beginnings in 2011, launching on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360, Skyrim is everywhere, including Amazon Alexa devices, for good reason. It set an entirely new standard for what an open world adventure could be and remains amazing. The PC version houses one of the most bustling modding communities of all time, even having full length games spawn from it. And with the recent upgrade to Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, Skyrim still looks and plays fantastic. With its engrossing story, living open-world, and more content than any one person knows what to do with, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim still stands today as one of the greatest open-world RPGs a person can spend their time with. width= / 6. Assassin’s Creed UnityA fixture in the top open-world game discussion for the past 12 years, Fallout: New Vegas burned itself into our collective memories by dropping us into an amazing story that reacts to our choices and plays out all around us. Building on the foundation of Bethesda’s Fallout 3, New Vegas moved us to the more colorful and diverse western region of the post-nuclear apocalypse United States and put us on a path to intersect with conflicts large and small. We meet some of the Fallout series’ best characters and follow what begins as a simple quest to find the man who shot you and left you for dead directly into the middle of a brewing three-way war between the New California Republic, a self-proclaimed new Roman emperor, and an immortal casino magnate to determine the fate of New Vegas. Even in all the years since, there’s rarely been an in-game world that felt as lived-in and busy or rich with stories, personalities, and dark humor – both on the surface and just beneath it – waiting for us to find them. width= /

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

CD Projekt Red’s sprawling fantasy epic has become one of the most noteworthy games of all time, one that set a new standard for open-world RPGs. With a grim-yet-gorgeous world that stretches across the better part of an entire continent, every corner, cave, swamp or city street of The Witcher 3 has something to discover.

It’s 60 hour main story is a great adventure, full of mystery and intrigue that draws from the deep lore of author Andrzej Sapkowski’s books, but its Geralt’s expertly-crafted side stories, monster hunts and off-beat adventures that really make The Witcher 3 and its two huge expansions truly exceptional. It’s a game where you can easily get lost for hundreds of hours and still not see everything it has to offer – but every one of those hours will be absolutely worth it.

CD Projekt Red will add Witcher-themed DLC to Cyberpunk 2077 through the Phantom Liberty expansion, which launches September 26.

Bloodborne

Bloodborne is a brutally difficult, immensely terrifying action horror game that will immediately kick your ass. You’ll spawn, die, and repeat until you throw your controller, swear at your television, and vow to walk away forever. Once outside the dim confines of Bloodborne’s dense, evil, snarling network of contorted beasts, wretched howls, and stark-raving murderous lunatics, you’ll enjoy a quiet, cheerful walk amidst the sunshine in the real world, free from Bloodborne’s punishing ways.

But a voice in your head will begin to ring and linger, calling you back, urging you to return, push forward, and conquer. And when you do, you’ll find yourself improved and fueled, patient and energized, ready to tackle it’s gristled, hairy bosses, rotting cathedrals, and wet, corrupt catacombs. Then you’ll die again, but this time you’ll be stronger, wiser, and older and prepared for the foulest of beasts to leap from the shadows and tear you apart all over again. Bloodborne is a horrible, vile world where every reward brings risks and fear is palpable. And while its challenges feel insurmountable and out of reach, your skill and determination will eventually prevail and you’ll press forward through the night. Death is frequent. Frustration is certain. But ultimately, victory is possible, and when achieved, becomes one of the greatest feelings in the world.

The Last of Us Part 2

The follow-up to 2013’s The Last of Us is the pinnacle of Naughty Dog’s storytelling ambitions during the life of the PS3 and PlayStation 4. Part 2’s ambitious, uncompromising story delivers at nearly every unexpected turn, with character arcs that are poignant, risky, and devastating. Naughty Dog asks you, the player, to do your best to reckon with morally ambiguity in ways that have evoked some of the strongest across the board reactions that we’ve seen from any game, ever.

It’s also perhaps Naughty Dog’s most mechanically complex game to date, and its stealth and action systems delivers moment after moment that feel like they should be scripted but are instead entirely dynamic. It may be one of the more divisive games of the generation, but it’s also one of the best; an absolute haymaker of a game we still can’t stop thinking about.

The Last of Us Part 1, a PS5 remake of the series’ first game, is now available. Our review called it the best way to play – or replay – Naughty Dog’s esteemed survival classic. Elsewhere in Naughty Dog’s post-apocalyptic universe is HBO’s Last of Us TV series Our review of The Last of Us: Season 1 called it a stunning adaptation that should thrill newcomers and enrich those already familiar with Joel and Ellie’s journey alike.

God of War

2018’s God of War shows an obvious level of care that went into crafting its world, characters, and gameplay, evolving a longstanding Playstation franchise into a testament to the power of storytelling in games and making it our choice for the best Playstation 4 game, period. Every aspect of God of War feels intentional, interconnecting with every other major aspect of the game, making exploring every inch of its world a rewarding opportunity. Everything from the main story to side missions and seemingly innocuous collectibles factor into your understanding of this new Aesir-inspired world and its major players.

It somehow never makes any of that feel like a dry history lesson, though, and God of War is constantly making Smart, economical use of storytelling. It’s also just such a fun experience, with the new Leviathan axe being one of the most satisfying game weapons we’ve used since we originally picked up the Blades of Chaos back in 2005. Bundled with Smart progression, fascinating environments, and an impactful story that offers an insightful exploration of one of gaming’s most notorious antiheroes, God of War is undoubtedly one of the best experiences of the generation as a whole, and a shining example of what the Playstation 4 has to offer.

The highly anticipated sequel, God of War Ragnarok, is now available. It took home six of IGN’s end-of-year awards, including Best Action-Aventure Game and Best Game Story. See our guide to the full God of War series for more info.

PS Plus free games: July 2023 list detailed

The PS Plus free games for July 2023 include Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered and Endling. Extinction is Forever. You can claim them from Tuesday, July 4 until Monday, July 31 if you’re subscribed to the PS Plus Essential service, PS Plus Premium. or PS Plus Extra.

Don’t have PS Plus? Want to stop paying full price? Our Playstation Plus discount code knocks off 10 versus what Sony charges.

PS Plus free games July 2023

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War

Wield an arsenal of weapons and equipment and experience the volatile, geopolitical battle of the early 1980s in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. The game includes Call of Duty’s classic multiplayer zombie modes.

Alan Wake Remastered

Available on Playstation platforms for the first time, Alan Wake Remastered brings the beloved action thriller from Xbox 360 to a whole new audience. The game is just as fun today as it used to be, and plays better than ever before.

Endling. Extinction is Forever

Endling. Extinction is Forever is an indie title that was released last year where you play as a fox trying to save its cubs in this eco-conscious adventure.

About downloading PS Plus free games

You can download all three Playstation games starting today – and if you run out of storage space on the internal SSD, check out my PS5 SSD upgrade how-to guide and best SSD for PS5.

With the introduction of the PS Plus free games for July, the free PS Plus games for June 2023 will no longer be available from July 4 (if you added them to your Playstation games library, you can continue to play them, don’t worry). Note: games don’t have to be downloaded; just added to your Playstation games library before they exit.

The primary reason to get a PS Plus membership is online multiplayer, but these ‘free games’ have rounded out the value of Sony’s online service. It helps Playstation Plus compete with Microsoft’s more robust offering (see our Xbox Game Pass Ultimate review and save 20 with our Xbox Game Pass discount code ) which has become a Netflix-like on-demand gaming service. That’s why Playstation Plus and Playstation Now have merged to form Playstation Plus Premium, Playstation Plus Extra, and Playstation Plus Essential.

How to get the PS Plus free games

You’ll be able to add the three Playstation Plus free games for June 2023 to your library until July 4. On that date, new games will take over, and you’ll lose your chance to add these games to your Playstation library. Adding the PS Plus games to your library doesn’t require downloading them and therefore doesn’t take up any hard drive or PS5 SSD storage space.

Why you shouldn’t wait on PS Plus free games

Should you buy Playstation Plus today for these games? While online multiplayer is essential for some people, the free games for 60 a year MSRP (but 45 a year with a Playstation Plus discount code) seems like good value if you play PS5 (if you don’t have a console yet, check out the Target PS5. and Amazon PS5 restock guides along with the Sony Direct queue guide). This is despite the fact you don’t know if the PS Plus free games will be any good month-to-month.

But here’s why to get them right away: You won’t be able to add the July 2023 free PS Plus games to your library after July 31. So my expert advice is that if you don’t have a Playstation Plus membership, get it today or before the end of the month to claim all of the Playstation games this month and the next, and for the following ten months.

Can I keep PS Plus free games forever?

As long as you’re subscribed to Playstation Plus, you can continue playing any free games added to your library. If you cancel your PS Plus subscription, all of the PS Plus free games and DLC become inaccessible.

There is a caveat: if you resubscribe to Playstation Plus, the free games added to your library would become playable again. So it’s worth getting Playstation Plus if you see a free game to your liking.

What were the past PS Plus games?

If you missed out on past PS Plus games, there’s no way to turn back the clock. However, I can tell you the game list for the titles you missed.

Are PSVR 2 games ever part of the PS Plus free games list?

Sony has released PSVR games as part of its PS Plus free games membership perk before (see the list in December 2021), but we haven’t seen PSVR 2 games in the lineup in 2023. It may offer free PSVR 2 games in the future, however, especially as Meta has launched its own subscription service called Meta Quest.
