My next big gripe with this as whole is that Sony could easily match Xbox Game Pass and yet they have chosen not to. The cost to value ratio is also not as good as Microsoft’s offering either in my view. I have a very quick connection and streaming itself isn’t a problem, but the quality is just not the same as a download. The biggest problem with PS Now for me is the streaming.

You can download PS4 games, though it doesn’t include PS Plus and there is no way to add it as Sony don’t offer it as an option. You can stream games to any PlayStation device, with titles ranging from PS2 to PS4.

We have PS Now which is on the consoles themselves and PC. Now, lets just jump over the other side of the Game Pass vs PS Now debate… The subscription service is also updated very regularly – it feels like a week doesn’t go by until we get more news on the service. The best thing here is that even without Bethesda, Game Pass is getting 3rd party games on its service day one, such as the recent Outriders. Microsoft also acquired Bethesda and we will be getting some of their new titles exclusive to any device that is game pass compatible, so rules out Sony then! The Medium, Gears 5, Forza Horizon, along with the upcoming Halo. Any first party release is now on game pass day one, e.g. Game pass allows full game downloads on Xbox and PC. We have Game Pass on the PC, Game Pass on the Xbox itself and then Game Pass Ultimate (Ultimate including both PC, Xbox, Xbox Gold and Cloud gaming along with EA Play). Game Pass has multiple levels of entry, depending on your format essentially. So it’s time to look at Game Pass vs PS Now. That being said, the sheer value that Game Pass provides is unmatched. I’ll be honest here, I do prefer Sony exclusives over Microsoft’s offering.

Indeed they do, however the problem is that by comparison, it’s just not on the same level and the perception of it is quite poor.

When are Sony going to do something that competes with Game Pass? I can hear you guys now saying “ Sony have PS Now“. I’m back with another lets talk piece! I know you guys love them and I had another thought, which in all honesty has crossed my mind a few times.

Playstation now game pass
