PS Plus adds GTA San Andreas, among the best open-world games ever.

GTA: San Andreas Is Open-World Classic for a Reason

Though open-world games are now a frequent benchmark, that certainly wasn't the case in the early 2000s. Although Grand Theft Auto 3's sandbox environment was a stunning leap forward, its original attractiveness has faded greatly in modern times. But by the time GTA: San Andreas debuted in 2004, that intriguing idea had evolved into something regularly unforgettable that holds up, and then some, two decades later.

Sometimes open-world environments have come to be associated with repetition since many games fill out their maps with endless lists of simple activities that occupy space but provide little thrill. With an interesting range of content and story missions packed into a complex geography that keeps generating fresh ideas over the course of the game, GTA: San Andreas gently avoids this mistake. Having a recognizable protagonist and cast of characters helps one to fall in love with the San Andreas universe; GTA 4 or 5 has not replaced its specific brand of pleasure.

In June PS Plus will be hosting one of the best open-world games ever.

In June, PlayStation Plus is adding some significant games to its library; one of them is a defining open-world game that members should not miss. While some revolving monthly games are accessible to all PS Plus members, those purchasing the Extra and Premium tiers can access more long-term additions. Premium in particular adds the Classics catalogue of older titles, but some remasters and remakes aren't locked within this exclusive category.

Thanks to the addition of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium customers, June 7 is an exciting day as stated on the official PlayStation Blog. One of the key defining games in the iconic Grand Theft Auto series, the original San Andreas is difficult to overestimate its importance and impact. The Definitive Edition makes the classic game available in remastered form even though the original one is not accessible on contemporary PlayStation consoles.

GTA: San Andreas – Though Not Perfect But Provides the Easiest Choice

GTA: San Andreas – The Definitive Edition might not be as definitive as its name would suggest, given many issues at launch that resulted in general remaster criticism. But it has had several important changes in the years since its 2021 release, which has greatly improved the experience now. While in terms of convenience, acquiring The Definitive Edition is absolutely the easiest choice for PS Plus Extra and Premium customers, in terms of personal preference embracing its cartoonish graphics makeover will ultimately be a question of choice.

The Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition from Rockstar does not offer the ideal approach to enjoy GTA 3, Vice City, or San Andreas.

June 2024 PlayStation Plus Is Including More Games

As usual, PlayStation Plus is introducing some fresh games in June 2024, including some action-packed titles accessible to members across tiers.

GTA: San Andreas definitely isn't the only classic choice for PS Plus users in June; Premium members also receive access to Tomb Raider Legend, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, and Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. Though it's clearly the most obvious must-play, any modern GTA enthusiast should absolutely have play this game. June 7 absolutely isn't a day to forget for PlayStation Plus members who haven't yet encountered Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
