There are certainly games on there in any given month that are weird or random or just not for me, but there usually isn’t anything that feels like it’s just there to let the service reach an arbitrary number. The Xbox Game Pass, on the other hand, doesn’t have a lot of filler.
It’s a win for game historians, but almost no one else. A number of the biggest or best-remembered titles on the system, such as Killzone 2 and Heavenly Sword, got yanked off the old PS Now roster, while all-time lows like Rogue Warrior and Duke Nukem Forever are still on there. Sony’s made a lot of strange choices for Plus, most notably in the PlayStation 3 library. There is a significant issue of curation, however. By the same token, some of the games on Game Pass’ Ultimate tier, such as the Dead Space trilogy, are there because of a bundled deal with Electronic Arts’ EA Play subscription service.
EVIL WEST INITIAL RELEASE DATE PS4
Several of the games on Plus are listed twice, such as Death Stranding and Evil Genius 2, as both their PS4 and PS5 versions are available separately. In fairness, these numbers are a little misleading.
EVIL WEST INITIAL RELEASE DATE FULL
This includes 378 games from the PlayStation 4 & 5 libraries a total of 306 PlayStation 3 titles that are strictly available via cloud streaming (the PS3 hardware is notoriously difficult to emulate) 38 in the “Classics” lineup, which includes the original PlayStation, the PlayStation 2, and Sony’s first handheld, the PlayStation Portable and 12 trial versions, which lets you play the full versions of various big games like Horizon: Forbidden West for a limited time. At launch, the highest tier of PlayStation Plus gives you access to well over 700 games, versus the 459 that are currently available with a Game Pass Ultimate subscription. The sheer size of PlayStation Plus’ library might be the biggest point in its favor. More games than you can ever play Many of the games that used to be on the PlayStation Now cloud gaming service have migrated to the new PlayStation Plus.
The new Plus is there to add value, but won’t touch the overall sales model.
PlayStation Plus, as per CEO Jim Ryan, will not be a launchpad for new first-party Sony games the way that the Game Pass is for Microsoft, and there are no reported plans to make Plus available on any platform besides its native PlayStation hardware. You can make a solid argument, as Polygon’s Oli Welsh has, that if Microsoft’s competing against anyone with this strategy, it’s not other video game companies it’s general content providers such as Netflix and Apple.īy comparison, Sony has made it clear that it’s not planning to make any serious changes to its sales model. To a significant extent, the Game Pass subscription gets you a virtual Xbox that can be deployed almost anywhere, via smartphone, tablet, PC, console, or in the near future, directly from a smart TV. In general, Microsoft’s efforts in the subscription space are about access. With Microsoft, the Game Pass is, to some extent, currently its entire deal at its big games showcase last weekend, virtually every new game was announced as either coming to the Game Pass at launch, or else was a new season of content coming to a game that was already there.
