Open-world games are some of the best you can play on the PlayStation 5. They usually have incredible stories with tons of missions and side quests, immersive, interactive and explorable worlds, and offer almost endless freedom.

These are the best open-world games you can play on the PS5.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla has everything you could possibly want in an open world game, from settlement building, political power struggles, mythological elements, barbaric combat, and a thrilling and immersive story. Even the three expansions, Dawn of Ragnarok, Wrath of the Druids, and The Siege of Paris, offer unique stories with more content and captivating Norse mythology. However, one of the more unique features that enhances the landscape of this open world is the cinematic camera. If you just want to enjoy the scenery, you can use the cinematic camera while driving or sailing on autopilot to create a more cinematic, immersive experience. It’s pretty cool and adds a memorable layer to this open world.

While it’s not set in the same time period as the Harry Potter novels, the story and twist on the wizarding world in Hogwarts Legacy is unique, engaging, and fun. And because it’s an open-world game, you can wander through the Forbidden Forest (at your own risk), make lavish purchases in Hogsmeade, explore the mysteries of Hogwarts, and have adventures in all of the surrounding areas. Hogwarts Legacy is one of those Wizarding World games that you should play if you like magical adventures, mystical classes, and aliens.
