7 of the best single-player games on PS Plus Extra
Looking for something new to play by yourself? PlayStation Plus Extra has you covered. Whether you’re in the mood to explore ancient Japan, fend off futuristic horrors, or just dive into a sushi-fueled deep-sea adventure, there’s no shortage of brilliant solo experiences on Sony’s subscription service. We’ve picked out seven of the best single-player games available right now on PS Plus Extra – all killer, no filler.
1. Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut
If you want to feel like a samurai movie hero, this one’s a no-brainer. Ghost of Tsushima puts you in the sandals of Jin Sakai as he battles to reclaim his homeland from Mongol invaders. It’s absolutely gorgeous, packed with intense sword combat and stealthy options, and it lets you pet foxes. What more do you need?
2. The Plucky Squire
One of the most charming indie games in recent memory, The Plucky Squire flips between 2D storybook pages and a full 3D world. It’s clever, colourful, and packed with fun little surprises. Platforming, puzzle-solving, and adventuring all wrapped up in one imaginative package.
3. Death Stranding: Director’s Cut
Hideo Kojima doing what he does best: something totally unexpected. In Death Stranding, you’re a post-apocalyptic delivery guy (played by Norman Reedus) trying to reconnect a broken world. It’s weird, atmospheric and strangely meditative. Stick with it, and you’ll find something truly unforgettable.
4. Dave the Diver
This one’s an absolute gem. Dave the Diver mixes deep-sea exploration with sushi restaurant management. It sounds like it shouldn’t work, but it totally does. Dive by day, serve by night, and uncover a surprisingly compelling story along the way.
5. Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Don’t sleep on this one. It might not have had the biggest hype at launch, but Guardians of the Galaxy is a brilliant single-player romp with a great story, excellent writing, and some genuinely emotional moments. Plus, that soundtrack? Chef’s kiss.
6. Returnal
If you’re up for a challenge, Returnal is one of the most gripping roguelikes out there. It mixes bullet-hell action with a creepy sci-fi mystery, all wrapped in some stunning visuals. It’s tough, sure, but it’s endlessly rewarding.
7. Deliver Us The Moon
A shorter, more chilled-out pick. Deliver Us The Moon is a gripping sci-fi thriller about a lone astronaut trying to figure out what went wrong on a mission to save Earth. It’s full of atmosphere, with puzzles and storytelling taking centre stage.
Whether you want something action-packed, story-driven, or just completely off-the-wall, there’s something here worth diving into. And the best part? They’re all just sitting there waiting for you on PS Plus Extra.
