As technology evolves, this console generation has already given us some of the best open-world games ever made, RPGs included. With bigger, denser, more detailed worlds, epic (or deeply personal) stories spanning a hundred hours, numerous playable characters, and an ever-growing variety of enemies, weapons, activities, and quests, the past few years have kept raising the bar for the entire medium, meaning each new game has to compete with everything that came before.

While everyone has their own preferences and favorite open-world RPG of this generation, some titles stand out as pretty much perfect, with very few flaws and elements that fit together particularly well. These games are widely beloved, standing among the highest-rated by critics and players alike.

For this list, we'll rank the most perfect open-world RPGs available on PS5 so far, based on PS Store user ratings. As such, only users who have purchased a game are eligible to rate it, reflecting real feedback from each game's community. While scores may include PS4 feedback for cross-gen releases, every game here has a native PS5 version or an official PS5 upgrade.

Disco Elysium actually led my most perfect open-world RPGs list based strictly on having the fewest flaws. It's a relatively compact and tightly designed project built around an unmatched creative vision, where every element works in tandem. The game also ranks highly with PlayStation players, reinforcing its status as an unmissable RPG experience for fans of the genre.

Disco Elysium's Final Cut edition is available natively on PS5, but its timeless visuals will never really age.
