PlayStation hoping to rival Xbox Game Pass with subscription and streaming options

It seems as though PlayStation is at long last quitting any funny business with attempting to go up against the Xbox’s greatest selling point.

Xbox launched its game subscription service Xbox Game Pass in 2017. Xbox Game Pass is likely the best deal in gaming at present.

For $10 per month — or $15 per month for the Ultimate package that additionally incorporates an Xbox Live Gold membership (which itself costs $10 per month and is needed to play most games online) — Xbox Game Pass gives subscribers unlimited access to in excess of 100 games. That incorporates each game released by Xbox Game Studios, including the recently released and amazingly reviewed “Halo Infinite” and “Forza Horizon 5,” being released on Game Pass that same day to stories.

The service is available on both Xbox consoles and PC, and assuming I played on both of those platforms, preferring Xbox Game Pass would be a no-brainer.

PlayStation has a few services as of now that kind of contend with Xbox Game Pass, however miss the mark regarding what Microsoft has offered.

PlayStation Plus is the monthly subscription needed to play games online, and it incorporates at least three free games every month for PlayStations 4 and 5.

There’s additionally PlayStation Now, which is a streaming/download service. The greatest disadvantage with PlayStation Now, in contrast to Xbox Game Pass, is that it does exclude new games and instead permits gamers to stream games from the PlayStation 2, 3, and 4 library.

In any case, a new report from games writer Jason Schreier at Bloomberg says PlayStation is at long last set up its own service of clash with Xbox Game Pass.

As per Schreier, PlayStation intends to consolidate PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now into one service that probably will keep the PlayStation Plus name.

The updated PlayStation Plus would be accessible in three levels. The base-level basically would be exactly what PlayStation Plus is today, permitting you to play games online and a few free titles every month.

The next tier, as per Bloomberg, would offer a large catalog of PlayStation 4 and in the end PlayStation 5 titles. The third level would add a library of PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games and different features like extended game demos.

As indicated by Bloomberg, this redesigned PlayStation Plus service is relied upon to launch the next spring.

PlayStation quite often has been playing catchup to Xbox with regards to online services. Assuming this gossip about the updated PlayStation Plus service is valid, it will go quite far in assisting PlayStation with getting up to speed to Xbox Game Pass.
