Best Third-Person Shooters
Third-person shooters (TPS) provide a unique balance between tactical possibilities and spectacular action: seeing the character in full, the player can better navigate the space and use cover more effectively. This selection features the best third-person shooters on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X — from cooperative hits to large-scale single-player campaigns. Gears of War, Remnant, The Division, Ghost Recon, Outriders — the genre is rich with strong projects.
We selected games based on shooting quality, enemy variety, tactical depth, and replayability. The list includes both classics of the genre and modern releases with support for cooperative play and online modes.
