10 Best RPGs on PlayStation Plus (October 2026)

Write your own story as a human consciousness implanted in an artificial body and trapped in a ruined space station in Citizen Sleeper. Your choices shape your destiny and the future, just like in Fallout 4, though as the lone survivor of Vault 211 hundreds of years after the nuclear war.

The best RPGs on PlayStation Plus give you the freedom to carve out your own path, determining your character’s build, story, and even personality. Some, like Nioh and Bloodborne, offer a more combat-focused approach, while others, like Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA, settle for a mystery-filled journey of self-discovery.

What is an RPG?

An RPG is a role-playing game, which puts you in the shoes of the main character. At the start, you choose their skills, strengths, and personalities. And then, advance the story and complete missions, making decisions on how their skills evolve and the kind of person they become.

Best RPGs on PlayStation Plus

You’re in the driver’s seat now. Take the wheel, and enjoy the best RPGs on PlayStation Plus I’ve curated for you below.

10. Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA

Your ship crashing onto a remote island is the last of your worries when you have to take care of the crew you were traveling with. And the remote island, while offering an epic adventure, also has its own terrifying monsters to protect yourselves from.

Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA does a great job of adding new gameplay mechanics to the mix. When you think that you’ll be unraveling a story like any other, it adds fearsome beasts and mysterious ruins to explore. And then you start to see a blue-haired maiden who keeps showing up in your dreams.

9. Demon’s Souls

Logic dictates that you stay away from Boletaria, a cursed kingdom covered in fog and crawling with nightmarish creatures that feed on human souls. But since you’re a brave knight in service to the king, you enter Boletaria, sword held high and ready to face whatever demons it throws at you.

For gamers who’d like a dark fantasy setup full of combat and challenging missions, Demon’s Souls should be right up your alley, leading up to slaying the strongest demon of all, who calls himself The Old One.

8. Nioh

Nioh is another option among the best RPGs on PlayStation Plus, with a dark fantasy setting and Soulslike combat. It’s, by no means, a walk in the park, traversing a dangerous land ravaged by civil war. 

Both humans and demons come after you, but each one has a weakness you can exploit. It’s a grueling but fair game that shows you the way of the samurai through all of its spectacular enemy and boss battles.

7. Bloodborne

Bloodborne is a darker Soulslike, whose ancient city of Yharnam is plagued by a strange illness. In no time at all, the city has succumbed to madness and death. Yet, you must cut a path through all of the deranged mobs and horrors of the night to get the cure for your own ailment.

While guns are the most reliable weapons, you may want to switch to the cleavers or ranged projectiles, depending on the enemy types. You also keep busy chasing the dark mystery of Yharnam and its collapse.

6. The Legend of Dragoon

You’ll have to see it to believe it. That humans can partner up with dragons and save the world together. The Legend of Dragoon thrives on the diversity of humans and dragons, where each partnership results in different extraordinary powers and combos that utilize both physical swordplay and magical spells.

5. Fallout 4

In Fallout 4, the world is starting to rebuild after a nuclear war wipes out civilization. Different factions struggle to survive in a wasteland brimming with opportunity and danger. You’re a lone survivor of Vault 111, looking for purpose. Which factions do you trust? What choices will you make that shape your destiny?

4. Final Fantasy 7: Remake (Intergrade)

Final Fantasy 7: Remake (Intergrade) adds more content to FFVII Remake. This includes a new story arc, following Yuffie Kisaragi and friends, as well as new places you’ve never seen before in Midgard. The story is compelling enough about taking down the Shinra Power Company, and the characters are as endearing as ever. If you already have the remake, Intergrade is worth revisiting Midgard for.

3. Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand

Sand has the main character energy in Atlas Fallen: Reign of Sand. Despite how bland it sounds, the devs have done a fantastic job of designing dynamic environments, towering sand monsters, and even abilities that rely on sand for traversal and combat.

You surf across massive distances on mobile dunes and can manipulate the Earth into weapons. You can conjure up giant fists made of sand, for example, and customize your movement and fighting style using the active and passive abilities from over 170 Essence Stones.

2. Citizen Sleeper

You’re trapped inside an artificial body, which your creators want to destroy. And all around you, a ruined space station struggles to stay afloat. It leaves you very little room to live freely. Your choices are limited, but still dynamic through the dice roll system.

Citizen Sleeper borrows from tabletop RPGs’ choice-driven narratives powered by rolling the dice. It creates paths different from player to player that lead you to unexpected destinations. Yet also defines your place and purpose in the game’s decaying world.

1. Ghost of Tsushima (Director’s Cut)

You’ve probably heard how stunning Ghost of Tsushima (Director’s Cut) is. The colored version is the best way to experience the rich, cultural world of feudal Japan during the Mongol invasion. However, you can still try out the black-and-white filter, which offers a classic cinema vibe.

Still, it’s the gameplay that will leave you impressed, from the fluid movement, even on horseback, to the samurai-inspired battles. I love that the combat adds stealth sections, as you enjoy discovering Iki Island’s new enemies, upgrades, and minigames.
