Games like Red Dead Redemption 2 to play next

Red Dead Redemption 2 set a new benchmark for the living open world, dense with detail, weather and wildlife and carried by an unforgettable story. If Arthur's slow-burning journey stayed with you long after the credits, these four are the natural next rides.

• Grand Theft Auto V Legacy is Rockstar's other masterpiece, swapping the frontier for modern Los Santos while keeping the sharp writing, three-hander storytelling and enormous, reactive playground. The same studio craft is stamped on every mission and street.
• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt matches Red Dead's scope and depth, with a huge, atmospheric world and character-driven quests that reward slow, curious exploration rather than rushing to the finish. It's storytelling of the very highest order.
• Cyberpunk 2077 trades horses for a neon metropolis but delivers the same immersive density and morally weighty story beats, with a sprawling Night City that feels every bit as handcrafted as Rockstar's frontier.
• Far Cry® leans hardest into open-world action, dropping you into wild, hostile terrain full of hunting, emergent firefights and outposts to tackle in whatever order and style you please. It's the pick for pure playground freedom, where the systems collide in ways no scripted mission ever could.
