Google Stadia and PlayStation Now both allow you to pay $10/month to stream games across devices. Both services offer free trials so you can test them yourself, but this guide lays out the features to help you figure out what's right for you.
Turtle Beach has revealed new Headsets and controllers for the Switch and Xbox thst have a colorful look.
For the first few years of this generation, a number of industry analysts argued Sony may need to add first-party games to PS Plus at launch in order to maintain pace with Xbox Game Pass.
The Japanese giant, to its credit, always maintained its position that this was unsustainable. It later added tiers to its subscription offering, providing good value with PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium without going all-in like its Redmond rival.
Microsoft has since missed a number of targets with its own service, and has subsequently started releasing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Sony’s console.

Not all know. I am betting those observing this while obscured may have trouble comprehending 😅
Back in the day, there were even discussions and I believe statements from Spencer about wether Sony would allow Game Pass on Playstation.
At least for the time being this option seems definitely to be ruled out completely.
Nintendo Switch 2 upgrades portability with a bigger screen, 1080p handheld play, and Wi-Fi 6. Here's why it still matters in 2025.
As someone who travels for work I still care about portable systems.
I have found using remote play in a hotel room is an excellent experience in a major city as I've got my console hard wired to a gigabit connection at home however it's not perfect if power trips the console tends to go to the repair section and can't be booted remotely so it's a annoying call to family to power it on for me.
A hotel out of town or regionally though that can cause havok for remote play as I'm always on 5g using it hotel wifi is never good enough for a solid remote play session.
But leaving a stable location and getting onto a plane or train and there's little to no chance of a good experience with remote play thats where something like the switch 2 will really shine for me personally long haul flights are exhausting and one of my most hated things the switch has been invaluable for me and I'll absolutely be upgrading
Nintendo has always done it the best, handheld is in their genes. I do wish their dock could be like an egpu though and it make it much more powerful, it's a bit harder for me to play portable now for some odd reason, love just sitting on the couch with a big screen and controller. And ofc always great to have the portable option and for me it's best for smaller games.
IMO, 540P upscaled in portable mode to a 1080P screen using DLSS on the tensor cores will likely extend battery life using a lower TDP and provide much better anti-aliasing and similar clarity compared to native 1080P with med/low AA at a higher TDP. It’s just a better way to use a mobile chipset. That’s not a flaw or weakness, it’s a key benefit for the portable design of the platform.
Lol, even the impressive upscaling feature of Switch 2 can now spin to a negative one.
Switch 1 was hitting 720p and above that with no upscale, so why can’t they have a higher res and upscale it more
@jznrpg
Because of that even the current gen games will now run on switch 2 that looked as good and with decent framerate as the current gen consoles.
Do you watch Nintendo's hands on preview for switch 2? LOL.
because aside from Nintendo's own games which have their dedicated fanbase, portability is the only other thing it has going for it. Nintendo will be eliminated faster than xbox if they ever decide to do a dedicated home console again. going the hybrid way is the only way left for them and they are lucky they dominated the portable market all those years ago. imagine the power of the Switch 2 as a console this day and age with the same price as PS5. they will be the laughing stock of the market.
No brainer PSNow is the winner Sony has been doing it longer and you're comparing a library of 800 games to a magazine rack of 40 games.
Stadia is technically the better. Newer games, better streaming quality and more supported devices.
However PS Now have a much better value as you don't have to pay for each individual game. And also feature the larger library. So between the two I would go with PS Now. Just be sure to not hook it up to a 4K TV. Or you going to have a blurry mess.
Stadia is just pathetic
If you have to ask you must not have gotten the memo that Stadia is a dumpster fire.
PSNOW lets you download some games (PS4 games, not PS3 games). This alone makes it better. If companies are going to insist on streaming, download should always be an option for those of us who don't enjoy input latency.
