What are the best PS Plus games? PS Plus, also known as PlayStation 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.

Depending on which PS Plus membership tier you're subscribed to, you'll be able to download and play an overwhelming number of games. Therefore, you may be wondering what the best PS Plus games are. That's why we've created this list, which sorts and curates the best PS Plus games currently available, based on your user ratings. This page will dynamically update, depending upon the availability of games within the PS Plus tiers, and your opinions.

For this page, we're combining all three tiers of PS Plus, including the PS Plus Collection (which is exclusive to PS5 users). 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.

70. PREY (PS4)

PREY (PS4)
PREY (PS4)
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks / Developer: Arkane Austin
Release Date: 5th May 2017 (USA) / 5th May 2017 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Extra

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.

69. Resogun (PS4)

Resogun (PS4)
Resogun (PS4)
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment / Developer: Housemarque
Release Date: 15th Nov 2013 (USA) / 29th Nov 2013 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Extra

Housemarque is a studio known for its arcade games, and Resogun remains one of its best. Like a modern day Defender, you're tasked with blasting away screens full of baddies while rescuing the last of humanity. It's a gorgeous shoot-'em-up with responsive gameplay, endless replayability, and supremely satisfying visuals. If you like a good old fashioned score-chaser, get Resogun played.

68. Puppeteer (PS3)

Puppeteer (PS3)
Puppeteer (PS3)
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment / Developer: Japan Studio
Release Date: 10th Sep 2013 (USA) / 11th Sep 2013 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Premium

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.

67. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3)

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3)
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West (PS3)
Publisher: Bandai Namco / Developer: Ninja Theory
Release Date: 5th Oct 2010 (USA) / 8th Oct 2010 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Premium USA

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.

66. Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (PS4)

Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (PS4)
Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy (PS4)
Publisher: Activision / Developer: Vicarious Visions
Release Date: 30th Jun 2017 (USA) / 30th Jun 2017 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Collection (Until 9th May 2023)

Remember Crash Bandicoot? The madcap marsupial makes a grand return on PS4 in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy, a remake of his first three adventures. The games may be relatively old, but they've been brought up to modern standards with colourful graphics and updated gameplay. There's lots of fun to be had across this trio of platformers, with hours and hours worth of tricky levels to run through.

65. Resident Evil (PS4)

Resident Evil (PS4)
Resident Evil (PS4)
Publisher: Capcom / Developer: Capcom
Release Date: 20th Jan 2015 (USA) / 21st Jan 2015 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Premium

The remaster of arguably one of the greatest remakes of all time: there may have only been six years between Resident Evil and its jaw-dropping GameCube revival, but Capcom packed an entire generation of progress into this technical tour-de-force. The game’s mansion remains utterly iconic, a character unto itself, and with tense survival action and some smartly designed puzzles, this PS4 port is a must-play if you missed it in 2002.

64. Detroit: Become Human (PS4)

Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
Detroit: Become Human (PS4)
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment / Developer: Quantic Dream
Release Date: 25th May 2018 (USA) / 25th May 2018 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Collection (Until 9th May 2023) / PS+ Extra

While so many interactive dramas cheat, Detroit: Become Human is the most adaptable narrative ever conceived. Lead characters can die in the opening hours of the story, and that’s the last you’ll see of them for the remainder of the campaign. The robotic revolution plotline can be a bit heavy-handed, but as with all Quantic Dream games, there are some real high-points that will stick with you long after the credits roll.

63. LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)

LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)
LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga (PS3)
Publisher: Warner Bros / Developer: Traveller's Tales
Release Date: 6th Nov 2007 (USA) / 9th Nov 2007 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Premium

LEGO Star Wars was an absolutely colossal hit, and given the sheer scope of the source material, LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga always seemed like an obvious release. Effectively, this is a compilation of the original game and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy. It’s since been bettered by LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but this is still a noteworthy release for fans of the sci-fi sensation.

62. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4)

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4)
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (PS4)
Publisher: Square Enix / Developer: Square Enix
Release Date: 11th Jul 2017 (USA) / 11th Jul 2017 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Extra

Final Fantasy XII was and still is a divisive game, but despite its PS2 origins, we would argue that it's aged extremely well. XII opts for a more serious story involving political puppeteering and a hefty dose of wartime drama, but it's the sense of adventure that makes the game so endearing. Excellently crafted environments are a joy to explore, and a brilliantly worked job system lets you tweak your party however you like. However, its Gambit system isn't for everyone, as it essentially lets you program your characters so that you don't have to lift a finger during combat. This allows for some impressive technical depth, but, you know, a lot of Final Fantasy fans like pushing buttons every now and then.

61. Nioh (PS4)

Nioh (PS4)
Nioh (PS4)
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment / Developer: Team Ninja
Release Date: 7th Feb 2017 (USA) / 8th Feb 2017 (UK/EU)
Available On: PS+ Extra

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.
