Xbox Game Pass on PlayStation: What You Need to Know

PlayStation has finally launched its take on Xbox Game Pass with its new subscription service, which combines the best of PS Now and PlayStation Plus into one package. Here's what you need to know about the different tiers and pricing.

At its core, the service offers access to everything in both the Essential and Extra tiers, making it a great value for gamers. The Extra tier is where the PS Now aspect really shines, with a library of up to 400 PS4 and PS5 games available for download and offline play.

The top-end tier is PlayStation Plus Premium, which offers all the benefits of the Essential tier plus access to a refreshed library of games regularly. This means that some games may be dropped after a certain period, similar to Xbox Game Pass. However, you'll still have the option to download your favorite titles for offline play.

At launch, Sony has promised a selection of popular games including Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel's Spider-Man, Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal. These will include both PlayStation Studios titles and third-party publisher releases.

The middle tier is PlayStation Plus Extra, which offers the same benefits as the Essential tier plus access to the PS4 and PS5 game library for $10 per month, $25 per quarter, or $60 per year in the US. Pricing varies depending on your region, with prices starting at £7 per month in the UK and ¥850 per month in Japan.

Overall, Xbox Game Pass on PlayStation looks like a great option for gamers who want access to a wide range of games without breaking the bank. With its combination of PS Now and PlayStation Plus benefits, it's definitely worth considering if you're looking for a new way to play your favorite games.
