Do you think they are just doing it because they like Xbox? No. And yet 3rd party devs/publishers keep putting games on Gamepass, just look on July 14th Capcom is dropping Exoprimal on Gamepass while ps5 owners have to pay $60. "That's hurting the industry whether you like it or not." I cant see how anyone can really complain about that but. In either case i will still use the service to try before I buy. Im hopeful things will change for MS now that they have so many in house teams getting their games ready for release.
Something Ms has really been relying on the past several months.
By the time a newer game comes to PS+, its already been out (1st/2nd party) so they can only really compete with 3rd party titles. More day one releases to try before you buy. For the most part, it was all about older games that had their chance years prior.Ī lot of people are cynical of game pass (like yourself) and yet they use it because it really does offer something the other services dont. It wasnt until recently that Sony started offering newer games. As for PS+ (Now) seeing as this is about buying habits, the games offered in + were already out previously. You just need a key to play and that is what the discs are today (for the most part). That is a cool aspect as the game data already exists on your system. Game pass game get removed and you can keep playing them so long as you either buy before it is removed or even acquire a physical disc to play. Maybe even a big 2nd party title at some point but Sony has been rather adamant about not doing 1st party. The landscape has changed and i feel we will see more day one efforts coming to PS+ like we do with game pass. It may not be day one for 1st/2nd party titles but they have stepped up their game with 3rd party day one games like stray. Ps Now was also a good subscription platform for its offerings of older PS games and now it is trying to take some of that game pass style with some more modern releases. I've done that with several games recently like psychonauts 2, cuphead, the medium. And in many cases i will seek out a physical copy if a retail version is released. I like that you arent obligated to buy the game, you do so if you truly want to keep it in your library. I still buy games, but now I do so after I have tried them in game pass. In any case, on to gamepass (and to an extent PS Now) it has changed 'my' buying habits. It was a novel taste test of what was to come much later. Not to mention that you could not keep said games in your library and some werent ever released in cart form until many MANY years removed. So it being one of the first is saying something but due to its limited reach, that says something else.
