MMORPGs have had an up and down existence, but it seems like the genre has settled on a few juggernauts based around major IPs dominating the scene, with new and intriguing games popping up now and again. In either event, these are the best MMORPGs to play in 2020.
Whether you’re looking for something free, something with a more premium feel to it, something old-school, or something totally unique and out there, these 14 games should cover most bases. Without any further ado, let’s jump in.
1. Final Fantasy XIV
Best MMORPGs to Play 2020
Final Fantasy XIV is knee deep in its prime right now following the excellent Shadowbringers expansion and there’s no better time to jump in than right now.
If you’re a fan of the long-running JRPG series, Final Fantasy XIV is filled with callbacks including featuring classic jobs & classes that you can play as, and even occasional cameo characters and alternate-universe story lines from previous games.
More importantly though, it has set a new standard for storytelling in MMORPGs and has its own unique plot that can rival the best of the numbered entries, especially – once again – the Shadowbringers expansion which blew us away last year.
Final Fantasy XIV is buy to play with a monthly subscription as well.
