A new report says that Sony is working on its own competitor to Xbox game pass, a new tiered system that would change or combine PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now.

A lot of security guards at my work got Xbox game pass just for that feature.
I see a lot of them sitting at their desk and playing games on their phone.
I get jealous sometimes. Lol
Just have no faith in Sony these days.
These subscriptions tie you to the company involved even more, after all if you only play one game you are not getting your monies worth. So you play two or three, or four. It makes financial sense but ties you in to one menu, in other words you get nothing for free which is what the subscription may be making you think you are getting.
I'm not sure if I understand what you mean. Ps5 is my favourite platform for gaming. I pay £35 a year for my sub and I get about £1400 free games and if you are an impulse buyer like me then close to £2000 on exclusive discounts.
Now there some MMOs that I don't get on my console. And some Xbox exclusives too.
Tbh, there hasn't been a single title before that I had cared. And if I would want to play Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield then I would buy an Xbox too. Another £350.a lot cheaper than almost any PC component.
The annual £35 is for online services. It's a bit more but you can sync sub to Black Friday sale. And you get a lot of contents for free, and there are several cosmetics and add-ons free for Plus members too.
I got my console for £350 directly from Sony, exclusive invite as a loyal customer.
How am I losing money here? This is the cheapest mode of high quality gaming.
I prefer a competitive market over a monopoly. If Microsoft hadn't bought Zenimax then Sony wouldn't had bought like 15 more studies to work on several projects and remakes. And without Gamepass, then again Sony didn't have to bring this new and much better subscription service neither.
If they enjoy gaming on the equivalent a toaster with crippled controls who am I to stop them.

If the proposed Sony service is actually like the Gamepass (especially if there is some sort of PC connection) I would grab it immediately. The Gamepass Ultimate (for PC) is great because it lets me dabble in games for a day or two and for some reason I do that a lot more than I go and actually play the backlog of Steam games I own. Maybe its because any game is instantly also available to my friends with no need to convince folks to buy a game to try it.
I'm the poster child for this service I guess.

edit: actually I’m not sure of any games that play on Xbox, PC and Steam PC together. My kids and I play plenty of games together with game pass and steam.
Are there games that play the 3 ways?
