Nowhere MS doesn't have no exclusive so the pass is useless

Servbot412658d ago

There are some early access and alpha games like No Man's Sea and Playerunknown's Poor Performance.

Let's be honest that's why this game pass thing even exists.

Im team PS4 but Ps now sucks because Its streaming. Xbox Pass is download which is awesome And pass includes Xbox, x1 arcade classics, genesis games etc. it’s a legacy service. PS now doesn’t even have PS2 or PS1 games like they said they would eventually have. it’s just PS3 and 4. you can’t beat pass right now. It’s really awesome. No graphical loss, latency or bs associated with streaming. Ps now really need to revamp. Sony needs to invest in backwards compatibility it can be done. And if they choose not to you there’s no excuse not to be able to stream all of Sony’s legacy titles it’s lazy and complete BS.

I'd pass on both.
Why accumulate subscriptions? Also EA? And then what? The companies should focus on improving the one almost compulsory subscription.

I have no clue what Sony is going to do with PlayStation now as it just seems like they're scaling back devices and I'm not sure even they know what they're going to do with the future of it.

I'm not really sure because I don't rent my games so I don't get it to be honest.

- Is Xbox Game Pass a Game Changer?
No.
- Where Does PlayStation Go With PS Now?
Nowhere.

They're both not doing much for either of them. I find myself using Game Pass, but not PS Now.

SegaGamer2657d ago

They both have their issues. Xbox game pass is limited to Xbox One and PS Now is too expensive and demands a strong internet connection.

Skankinruby2658d ago

Neither one are revolutionary, offline digital games will be a huge step

Eidolon2658d ago

A lot of games, but streaming sucks for majority of people, or at least those of us who can tell the difference in latency and frame and quality consistency. Honestly, I'd rather pay $5-10(sometimes cheaper or free) per game than subscribe $10 a month so I can own it and play it with 0 network encumberance.

Think that rumor that they'll still make a new console but at a profit at $1000 will be true though. The series consoles will remain their cheap alternative throughout next gen I would say. Keep in mind that game pass and pretty much going 3rd party is their main focus. They want to bring xbox everywhere.

If they don't maintain some kind of console presence, I think they will lose gamepass subscribers and just become a 3rd party publisher who eventually sells everything off

Xbox games are releasing on all platforms. Who needs this hardware? PS or PC is all you need

Flewid63814h ago

I've never owned an Xbox in my life and I have GamePass.

thorstein13h ago

The only Xbox I owned was the 360. I have gamepass for my PC.

Majority of Gamepass users are currently on console...

Even if they could get it down to $800 for a box that can run with comparable performance to a PS6 (at, say $200 cheaper) the population of people willing to buy such a thing would be so limited.
It would be the worst of both worlds.

A slow, painful and public death too.
