One of the things that?s always stuck with me from a chat I had with Myst creator Rand Miller was that game developers don?t just make games, they make worlds. The environment is often just as important as the characters, gameplay, and narrative, being the container for everything that is taking place. The game?s world doesn?t just need to be believable, it needs to be engaging to be a part of. It needs to intertwine with the rest of the elements in the game. A lot of games gave us open worlds to play in this year, but only one can be the best. Here are the PlayStation LifeStyle nominations for Best Open World in 2019.

Death Stranding
Days Gone
The Outer Worlds
Control
Borderlands 3

Best Open-World Game 2019 Winner
