Why PS Now needs a serious upgrade for PS5 to beat Xbox Game Pass
PS Now is Sony's game subscription service that offers access to hundreds of games from PS4, PS3 and PS2. You can stream them or download them to your PS4, PS5 or PC. But is it enough to compete with Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass, which has been dominating the game subscription market with its impressive lineup of games, day one releases and next-gen upgrades
In this article, we will compare PS Now and Xbox Game Pass in terms of price, value, game library and features, and explain why PS Now needs a serious upgrade for PS5 to beat Xbox Game Pass.
Price and value
PS Now costs $9.99 / Â8.99 per month, $24.99 / Â22.99 for three months, or $59.99 / Â49.99 for a year. Xbox Game Pass costs $9.99 / Â7.99 per month for the console or PC plan, or $14.99 / Â10.99 per month for the Ultimate plan, which includes both console and PC access, EA Play membership and Xbox Cloud gaming.
Both services offer a lot of value for money, but Xbox Game Pass has a clear edge when it comes to the quality and quantity of games available. Xbox Game Pass has over 300 games, including all first-party Xbox titles on day one, such as Halo Infinite, Fable and Forza Motorsport 8. It also has exclusive deals with third-party publishers like Bethesda, EA and Square Enix, which means you can play games like Outriders, MLB: The Show 21 and Starfield on day one as well.
PS Now has over 800 games, but most of them are older titles from PS3 and PS2 that may not appeal to everyone. It also lacks day one releases from Sony's own studios, which means you have to buy games like God of War: Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West and Gran Turismo 7 separately. PS Now does occasionally add some newer titles like Marvel's Avengers and Borderlands 3, but they are only available for a limited time and only in their PS4 versions.
Game library and features
PS Now allows you to stream or download games to your PS4, PS5 or PC. Streaming saves you hard drive space and lets you play PS3 and PS2 games that are not compatible with PS5. However, streaming requires a stable internet connection of at least 5 mbps (10+ mbps recommended) and may suffer from latency or quality issues depending on your network.
Xbox Game Pass lets you download games to your Xbox console (from One to Series X/S) or PC. Downloading gives you better performance and offline access for up to 30 days. You can also stream games to your Android phone or tablet via Xbox Cloud gaming (iOS support coming soon), which is included in the Ultimate plan.
Both services offer next-gen upgrades for some games, but Xbox Game Pass has more options and better support for Xbox Series X/S features like faster loading times, higher resolution, ray tracing and FPS boost. For example, you can play Forza Horizon 4, Gears 5 and Doom Eternal in 4K 60 fps with ray tracing on Xbox Series X/S, while PS Now only offers the PS4 versions of Marvel's Avengers and Borderlands 3 without any enhancements.
Conclusion
PS Now is a decent game subscription service that offers a large library of games from different generations of PlayStation consoles. However, it falls short when compared to Xbox Game Pass, which has a superior game library, day one releases, next-gen upgrades and cloud gaming features.
PS Now needs a serious upgrade for PS5 to beat Xbox Game Pass. Sony needs to add more first-party and third-party titles on day one, offer more PS5 versions of games with enhancements, improve its streaming quality and reliability, and expand its cloud gaming support to more devices. Otherwise, it will continue to lag behind Microsoft's game subscription service in terms of popularity and appeal.
