10 Best PS Plus multiplayer games

When you upgrade your PlayStation Plus membership to tiers above Essential, you’re going to get a lot more games. But, of all the current PS Plus games in the catalog, which ones are the best in terms of multiplayer?

We have some recommendations below.

The 10 best PS Plus multiplayer games

There are two other tiers for PS Plus, so we’ll also note which one is for which service to give you a better idea of which one to get or what’s available in your current subscription.

For Honor – Extra

For Honor has been around for over seven years at this point, but has received so much content ranging from new maps, characters, customizations, and progression options. Team up with some friends to take on the PvE or PvE modes in this brawler. 

It takes a while to get good at a game like this since it’s different than many other games in this genre, but once you get some decent combos and defensive plays down, this opens up tenfold.

Monster Hunter Rise – Extra

With Monster Hunter Wilds on the horizon, now is the best time to get into the latest installation of the franchise to prepare for it. Rise is more akin to the classic formula of the MH games, borrowing a lot of the more modernized stuff from World, but also making it better.

The cooperative aspect is seamless and just more fun with more people coordinating awesome methods to hunt, trap, and beat the monsters. If you’re looking for a game to introduce you to the franchise, you will not be disappointed with Monster Hunter Rise.

Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege – Premium

Similar to For Honor, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege has been out for a long time, having so many maps, operators, and content that awaits. Admittedly, this game is a sweat fest, but as long as you ignore the ranked side and team up with some friends for casuals, it’s a great time.

This game breaks away from the twitch shooter aspect that many may have grown tired of from games like Call of Duty. It’s slower, more tactical, and methodical. You still need to be a decent shot, but each operator has their own set of weapons and gadgets that can help snag that win.

Killing Floor 2 – Extra

Killing Floor 2 is a round-based zombie shooter game with classes. The cooperative aspect of it makes this so much fun, especially when pitted against the hundreds of zombies (or Zeds as they are called in-game). 

With so many maps to choose from and so many builds in the game, you can easily have dozens of hours slaying these Zeds. There’s even a PvP aspect of the game if you and your group are feeling competitive.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder’s Revenge – Extra

If you want a classic beat ‘em up in the modern era, TMNT Shredder’s Revenge is the best you’ll get from the PS Plus collection. It’s an awesome party game that’s so reminiscent of the Sega Genesis and arcade era of 16-bit games. 

The best part is, if you have a group above four people, you can play up to six players at once!

Worms W.M.D – Extra

The Worms games were all wacky fun with hilarious physics, explosions, and interactions. To break away from games that have a more cooperative aspect, Worms W.M.D is all about blowing up all the competition to be the one to get out on top. 

It’s an easy game to get into, whether you have ever tried 2D tank-styled games or not.

Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 – Premium

The Division 2 is one of the bigger looter shooter games out right now that isn’t free to play. It has only gotten better since it was first released. Having a full-on cooperative aspect, PvP, and a sizeable community, this is something you can easily sink over a hundred hours into.

The gunplay and all the builds are for the hardcore, but the initial playthrough of the base campaign will still provide plenty of fun for casuals.

Serious Sam Collection – Premium

If you want a more cooperative experience with a shooter, the Serious Sam Collection is going to be a blast. Being more akin to early 2000s boomer shooters, this collection of games will provide you and your friends with dozens of hours of high-octane shooter gameplay.

While highly unlikely, you can play cooperative mode with up to 16 players. The action will be insane and hilarious all at the same time.

Moving Out – Extra

If you want a more party-centric multiplayer game in the PS Plus catalog, Moving Out will scratch that itch and then some. Think of these games being an extension of the Overcooked games. You’re constantly walking over your teammates and other obstacles to get the job done.

You might break a few things or have a huge fail along the way, but it’s all in good fun.

Overcooked 2 – Extra

Carrying the momentum forward from Moving Out, Overcooked is the OG of birds-eye view, cooperative, item-moving games. The experience in the second game is different almost every single time since everyone is frantically trying to get their tasks done and efficiently.
