GTA 6is arguably the most highly-anticipated game of next year and the gaming community has waited long enough. The previous game was released in 2013 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 generation which should give the game developers of Rockstar Games more than enough time to perfect this sequel.
The success of Rockstar Games with the open-world structure has encouraged other game developers to do something similar to provide players with a safe digital sandbox to explore wherever they please. Until then, here are 5 other great open-world games that will stave off the quench of experiencing the flashiest Triple-A video game of the following year.
5Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt Red was entering a dark place as soon asCyberpunk 2077launched on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One four years ago. The game was poorly optimized and the gaming community did not find the satisfying experience they once had withThe Witcher, a great example of what the developers are capable of.
Unfortunately, the launch was tarnished by a buggy game but was later patched, and that wasn’t the only problem. Players were confused about what the developers were trying to present and were duped by previous promotional and marketing materials.
Starfield Update Detailed – Is Bethesda Pulling a Cyberpunk 2077 and Bringing the ‘Generational’ Game Up to Its Own Lofty Expectations?
The first-person perspective will make players feel familiar since it is an available camera angle inGTA 5andRed Dead Redemption 2. Fortunately, the game was salvageable and seemingly lived up to expectations. The modding community did its part by implementinga photorealism modthat blurred the lines between reality and fiction. Players on the PC platform can now experience what CD Projekt Red initially had in mind forCyberpunk 2077, and it was a great open-world experience paired with realistic visuals at a high fidelity.
4Days Gone
BothDays GoneandCyberpunk 2077were victims of a terrible launch that permanently damaged how the gaming community viewed these games with great potential. Originally launched on the PlayStation 4 where it ran terribly without patches, fans could not get into it without running into performance issues and stuttering. The game was later ported to PC and was given an update to run smoothly on the PlayStation 5 which offered the best way to experience this game.
Unfortunately, a sequel is not an option for Sony Interactive Entertainment, and Bend Studio is actively working on an ambitious online multiplayer project. Fans of the game hope the developers willcarry over the best aspects that workedlike the impressive horde system. Players take control of Deacon St. John as he rides the open road fighting Freaks and marauders in Seattle, Oregon while doing missions and side objectives akin to olderGrand Theft Autogames.
3Ghost of Tsushima
Ghost of Tsushimais the ultimate fantasy for fans of the Feudal Japan era as they take control of Jin Sakai. Facing the invasion of Mongol forces headed by Khotun Khan, Jin must sacrifice everything, including his honor, to even the odds and tilt the war effort to his favor. Players can explore the island of Tsushima to liberate areas from enemy occupation and get easily distracted from completing main missions by random side quests or points of interest by foxes and golden birds.

The game developers of Sucker Punch Productions pushed the technical limitations of the PlayStation 4 to the absolute limit. The gaming community was immediately enamored bythe beauty of the landscapeand was satisfied by the fluid combat mechanics. Fans can freely wander around the first section of the map after the introduction and accomplish various activities to gain experience points, materials, and other rare items to build Jin Sakai as the ultimate warrior fighting for his home.
It is hard to believeGTA 5will be 11 years old later this month and it held up well against the test of time. The game shattered record at launch making it the fastest-selling video game of all time and the gaming community expectsGTA 6tooverthrow it with pre-order sales alone. Rockstar Games have outdone themselves with this installment by introducing the feature where players can seamlessly switch between the three protagonists, a detailed world, and diverse landscapes.
Players grew up playing this game in the past decade and fans were fed withfalse promises over a story expansionthat never came to pass. The single-player story mode was serviceable; however, some fans would argue that it was too short given how vast the state of San Andreas was and believed the developers could have done more. The rising success of theOnlinecounterpart may have been a factor and it was a great opportunity to do all of the activities available in the single-player story mode with friends or strangers online.
1Red Dead Redemption 2
Rockstar Games have always aimed to improve after each project, andRed Dead Redemption 2was a worthy successor to the original game and it also served as a major step up from the systems and mechanics introduced inGTA 5. It is arguablythe biggest and best game the studio releaseduntil the release ofGTA 6and it is one of the most beautiful and detailed games ever.
“This is totally fake”: Despite Rumors That Red Dead Redemption 2 Remastered Could Be Announced At Gamescom 2024, Rockstar Fans Aren’t Convinced
It would make sense for the last game the developers released before the nextGrand Theft Autogame to be on top of the list. However, despite the visual eye candy and beautiful landscapes, it was far from perfect. Some fans would love to havemore story missions beyond the epilogueand the ability to host a private online session to avoid interacting with toxic players that are plaguing the Online mode.
The game’s massive scope and scale forced the developers to cut corners and leave some content on the cutting room floor.Leaked gameplay footage has surfacedabout the island of Guarma which is briefly featured in Chapter 5 leading fans to believe this small area of the game is where Rockstar Games used asa testing fieldfor the updated graphical fidelity, lighting, sound effects, physics, and many more.
