GTA 5's popularity has attracted millions of gamers worldwide. It is frequently considered one of the best open-world games ever made.
This isn't to say that there aren't other games like it. The open-world genre has been quite popular lately. Players who are bored with GTA 5 or who want to try something new have a variety of options to choose from.
AAA titles, especially in the open-world category, are usually quite expensive. However, this isn't always the case. This article presents a few such open-world games like GTA that players can buy these without burning a hole in their pockets.
Note: The prices displayed here are for the Steam versions of the game in India and the US. Some of these may be cheaper than GTA 5 in one country but not the other.
5 best open-world games that are cheaper than GTA 5
1) Saints Row: The Third Remastered - ₹899/$39.99
The Saints Row series has often been labeled as a GTA clone and considered a competitor to GTA. With Saints Row The Third, Volition has severed this connection and has created a unique experience unlike anything seen in GTA.
The Remastered edition of the game was released in 2020 with a host of visual improvements. The game was on sale for free on Epic Games up until 2nd September. Although it is more expensive than GTA 5 in the US, that is not the case for India.

2) Just Cause 3 - ₹399/$19.99
The Just Cause series has been remarkably different from the GTA franchise. It presents massive open-world environments and gameplay that are somewhat similar to Far Cry. However, it also contains the bizarre and over-the-top action seen in the GTA and Mercenaries games.

3) Yakuza 0 - ₹665/$19.99
The Yakuza series of games offer a unique open-world experience that is seldom found in its contemporaries. The inability to ride vehicles in a modern environment may seem like a drawback. However, this is exactly where the games shine.
