2) Dying Light 2

Dying Light 2 was released in February 2022 by Techland as an action-role playing game with a survival horror approach. Sequel to Dying Light (2015), the game continues the storyline 22 years later, where players take on the role of Aiden Caldwell and venture into the zombie-inflicted open-world map based in the city of Villedor.

The map is four times larger than its predecessor and is broken into seven regions that feature their own biomes. One of the primary focuses of the game is the various parkour skills that players can perform. The game offers over 3000 parkour animations in the game to make player movements more seamless.

Players can use tools like grappling hooks and paragliders to explore the map. Though it's a relatively new game, Sony might just add it to the list of PlayStation Plus Extra.

3) GTA 5

Rockstar Games released Grand Theft Auto 5 as the seventh installment of its most popular GTA series. Released in 2013, GTA 5 is undoubtedly one of the most successful action-adventure games of all time.

The game is set on an open-world map of Los Santos, which is based on the city of Los Angeles. GTA 5 features three main protagonists, namely Franklin Clinton, Michael De Santa and Trevor Phillips. Like conventional GTA games, players have to commit heists and complete various missions with all three protagonists.

The game is highly appreciated due to its extremely detailed open world, interesting missions, and proper characterization. Despite GTA 5 having been released back in 2013, it was still the most streamed title on Twitch last year. This showcases the game’s immense popularity and success. Players would definitely love to see GTA V on their PlayStation Plus Extra subscription.
