PlayStation Seemingly Planning a Response to Xbox Game Pass

28 Best Xbox Game Pass Games

Crusader Kings 3 (console and PC)

In IGN's Crusader Kings 3 review, we called it "a superb strategy game, a great RPG, and a master class in how to take the best parts of existing systems and make them deeper and better." Its strong grand strategy mechanics are propped up by meaningful human stories that emerge as you build and sustain a dynasty. It earned a 10 in our review, which crowned it the "new king of historical strategy."" class="jsx-2920405963 progressive-image image jsx-2126225085 expand loading"/>

Ryan went on to point out that PlayStation already has its Now subscription service. He is presumably also not talking about the existing PS Plus Collection, which bundles a number of classic PlayStation games into the cost of a PS Plus subscription. Likely, any further response would either be a new service, or an addition to one of the above.

Xbox Game Pass offers over 100 games as part of a monthly subscription – including all newly released titles from Xbox Game Studios. At its Ultimate tier, that includes Xbox Live Gold, EA Play, xCloud, and, currently, a 30 day subscription to Disney+. It’s been a huge success for Microsoft, with 70% of Xbox Series X and S owners subscribing to Game Pass.
