@lionheartssj1: @lionheartssj1:I regret not maxing out my Gold sub as well. I rationalized back then that I need to work on my backlog after I finish the Gamepass sub, but it just keeps on getting better. I am still good until May 2021 though.

That's cool. It's about time these studios started spreading the wealth around to multiple platforms. Looking forward to Microsoft returning the favor and making their exclusive series available on other consoles too.

@waltdawg443: These games aren't first party Sony exclusives. They are third party games released initially on the PS4.

None of the PS or XBox first party exclusives have moved to either platform.

It seems that Microsoft isn't messing around with Game Pass in the slighest. Which is awesome. Because as of now, it is hands down the best subscription based streaming/downloading service on the market. And this is from just a PC player, I don't even have an Xbox to take full advantage of the service.

Playstation Now is a close second, especially with the price drop they had, bringing the cost of the 12 month sub to $60, so basically the cost of one AAA title gets you access to a boat load of PS2, PS3 and PS4 games. Sure most of them are pretty awful, but still, you get more game for your buck with 12 months of PSNow than you can get with most AAA titles recently it seems.

@R34Vegeta: PSNow only streams on PC at 720p while you can download the PC games from Gamepass for PC and play it at the highest resolution and fps you're PC and the game can manage. It is not even comparable considering you getting launch titles on Gamepass that are normally $60 while PSNow only offers older games at least a couple of years old.

@firedrakez: That's why I said it was a close second. As it's the only other contender by far. Stadia? Yeah right. Ubisoft and EA's offerings are just their own titles so you're pretty limited on choice there as well. And I can't think of anything else other than those.

Also, you can download PS4 games via PSNow...um, now. But yes, they are relatively old titles, so there's definitely room for Sony to up their game.

@R34Vegeta: @R34Vegeta:You can download titles on PS4 not on PC which is the platform I might use it for. On PC it is pure streaming unlike Gamepass where you can download all their games.

@firedrakez: Right, I guess I didn't make that distinction before.

But I suppose from a purely PC player perspective almost nothing come close to Game Pass, true. But from a "gaming in general" perspective, the only other service that comes close via selection per price, is PS Now, even with the limitations of PC streaming. At least in my opinion. Especially if you want to play older titles, 720p would be an upgrade in some cases.

@HOLYSHMUCK: I wish they would have released them much earlier. I needed a refresher before KH3.
