If you’re like me you’d love to explore a huge world on your phone so I’ve been looking for lots of games for the Top 15 Best Open World Games.
Trust me, there is something for everyone here, whether you are interested in exploring vast landscapes, taking on crazy missions or just want the freedom to do what you want, so let’s get into it.
Grand Street Racing
Grand Street Racing is a mobile game where you drive around a city race other cars and try to unlock cooler rides. I stumbled upon it looking for a new time waster and honestly the first thing that caught my eye was how surprisingly good it looked and cruising around the map was genuinely enjoyable.
However the city does feel a bit deserted It would be way cooler with some virtual pedestrians and more NPC traffic to line things up.
Overall Grand Street Racing is a decent way to kill some time and has some visual appeal but it feels like it’s just a few updates away from being a truly awesome open world racer.
City Life Game with Friends
Life Game with Friends is an upcoming open world mobile game that’s got a real Sims vibe to it. I got a little sneak peek since it’s not out globally yet and I got to say I was pretty into it.
The art style is all bright and cartoony which I found super charming However knowing how The Sims works I do have a bit of a nagging worry about the potential for it to become pay to win or for them to charge an arm and a leg for every cool item and feature I’m keeping my fingers crossed that it manages to strike a good balance and doesn’t end up being too expensive to properly enjoy when it finally launches worldwide.
PsychoWorld
PsychoWorld is open world monster collecting game like PAL World The designs are actually pretty cool and stand out from your typical monster collecting game.
here’s also a crafting system in place where you gather resources and use your captured critters to help you build and survive. It’s a mobile game so don’t expect the same level of depth as Power World on PC but it seems like a fun and unique take on the genre for your phone.
If you’re into collecting weird and wonderful creatures and crafting your way through a strange world Psycho World might just be your next mobile obsession.
Steel Paws
Steel Paws puts you in the metallic paws of a customizable robotic cat navigating an intriguing open world.
Honestly the concept alone grabbed my attention and playing it didn’t disappoint Moving through the different areas and engaging in the fluid combat felt consistently fun and required a good bit of tactical thinking which I appreciated.
While the graphics aren’t going to blow anyone away there’s a definite charm to the art style and everything runs pretty smoothly All in all Steel Paws is a genuinely enjoyable mobile game that offers something a bit different.
Real Truck Simulator Europe
Real Truck Simulator Europe throws you into the driver’s seat of a big rig across the European landscape I’ve never been a hardcore truck sim enthusiast but I have to say this game has a surprisingly chill and almost meditative quality to it.
It’s not the kind of game that’s going to give you a rush of adrenaline but if you’re looking for something a bit more laid-back and enjoy the idea of being a virtual trucker this one could hit the spot.
Ylands
Ylands is low poly adventure sandbox game that throws you onto a bunch of different islands. You can gather resources craft tools build yourself a home or even a ship to sail between islands.
And there’s a surprising amount of stuff to discover I spent a good chunk of time just exploring the different environments each with its resources and wildlife. Honestly, it feels like a game where your imagination is the limit. If you enjoy crafting and exploring and have a bit of creative freedom, Ylands could be right up your alley.
Titan Soul: Action RPG
Titan Soul has that familiar top-down action RPG feel, and the name brings Titan Quest to mind. I found the core of exploring and fighting enemies to be pretty engaging and there’s a nice sense of accomplishment when you finally take down a tough monster.
However I also felt like it’s still in a stage where it could become something much greater While it’s a decent experience as it is it feels like it needs more content and maybe some adjustments to the overall pacing to shine.
Lightus
Lightus is an open world adventure where you’re a traveler with amnesia but the cool part is it’s got this monster collecting vibe kind of like Pokémon or Pow World.
You can find and tame different creatures to become your pets These aren’t just for show either They can help you out in battles and with tasks around your home.
If you’re into exploring a big world collecting and befriending creatures and getting creative with building Lightus could be a fun one.
157: Online
157 Online is trying to be the Brazilian GTA It’s got potential even if it’s still very much in its early stages Offline singleplayer mode is just you a car and an empty city No NPCs no missions no quest nothing.
It does have online multiplayer which is where the fun is especially if you’re playing with friends Right now it’s a good game for free roaming and messing around with friends online.
If the developers keep working on it and add more content this game could be something cool.
Tomorrow
Tomorrow is post-apocalyptic survival but with a twist You’re not just fighting nature You’re fighting a radiated mutants and other players.
What’s different here is the MMO part You’re not alone You can team up with others or you can go it solo You’ll be building bases raiding other players camps and trying to find rare resources.
If you like the idea of a post-apocalyptic world where you can team up or fight against other players it’s worth checking out.
The Schedule 1 Projec
The Schedule 1 Project an open world simulation game where you’re growing and selling your stuff. You start with a small setup taking care of your plants and then you figure out how to sell what you grow and make your business bigger.
You’ll probably spend time getting the things you need upgrading your operation and meeting people who want to buy what you’re selling.
If you enjoy simulation games where you’re building something and managing resources this could be interesting to try out on your phone even if it’s not the official version of the PC game.
Garena Free City
Garena Free City is an open world action game similar to GTA games. You can wander around this pretty big city find different spots and there’s a sense of freedom in just exploring.
I like driving around and discovering new areas However while the map is large it sometimes feels a bit empty The missions and activities scattered around are okay but they can get repetitive after a while.
It feels like the open world is there but it could be filled with more interesting things to do to really make it shine It’s got potential and maybe with some updates it could become something really cool For now.
OTR2
OTR2 looks like a significant step up from the original off the road It seems to be aiming for a more detailed and expansive off-roading experience on mobile.
OTR2 is set to feature a large open world that you can explore not just by driving but also using boats and helicopters While the full details are still emerging as the game is anticipated to be released in 2025 if you enjoyed the first OTR for its open world driving and off-road challenges OTR2 seems to be expanding on that formula in a big way with the addition of new vehicle types and enhanced visuals.
Bully Anniversary Edition
Bully Anniversary Edition brings some enhancements to the original game. You get improved graphics with highresolution textures and better lighting making the game look pretty good on modern phone screens.
They’ve also added friend challenges which are turn-based multiplayer miniames where you can compete with others in things like dissecting frogs in biology or solving math problems.
I think Bully Anniversary Edition on mobile is a solid port of a beloved game offering a unique and often humorous open world experience with plenty to do and discover within the walls and grounds of Bullworth Academy.
Offroad League Online
Offroad League Online trying to offer a comprehensive off-road experience with a strong focus on online interaction and player created content With its promise of a large open world realistic physics and extensive customization.
It could be a really engaging game for fans of the genre when it fully releases on Android having already launched on iOS in late 2024 It’s definitely a game to play if you enjoy exploring challenging terrains and competing with others.
