Sony Plans To Expand PS Plus Services Across Multiple Platforms, Leaks Reveal

Xbox Game Pass may have a new competitor in the future for multi-platform domination.

[RAFTECH26]

Way too late.
MS already has a huge library…. On top of that, the usage of activision hasn’t even been implemented.

The console war has moved to subscription war.
I would rather go game pass. Cloud.

[andy85]

Depends on the price tbh. PS Extra has more quality, GP has some day one games.

[RAFTECH26]

I have seen the ps plus library.
Those new announced additions have been in game pass from time.

Sony would have to do day 1.

Even then……. Is that sustainable for them?

The question that was asked gamepass from time.

Remember, Microsoft has deeeeeeeeep pockets. In order to sustain, Sony would have to increase their prices from their consumers….

[S2Killinit]

Personally, a Crunchyrol sub bundle with PSPlus would make it the best value ever.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

@S2Killinit,
Honestly, a Crunchyroll sub bundle is the only thing that would change my mind at this point.

[andy85]

But I'm talking about the overall library, not this months additions.

[itsmebryan]

@andy
What day one games? 2024 is only TLoU2 remasterd (old) and Venom that should have been in SM2. PleAse explain

[redrum06]

Don't agree with you. I have both the XSX and PS5, and while PS has pretty awesome 1st party titles, I find most of their 3rd party titles are lacking in quality. GP offers a lot more when it comes to that.

[Zeref]

More quality? I don't think even you believe your own nonsense 😂. Gamepass objectively has better games.

[just_looken]

This and sony does not have the cash flow too support a game pass style like microsoft has been doing but they could put a app store of there games on pc.

Or they could dip into there huge pile of dead ips put those on a gamepass style that would work.

[fr0sty]

Microsoft doesn't either, which is why they have openly admitted that if subscriptions do not dramatically increase by 2027 it's going to drive them out of the console business entirely.

[just_looken]

@frosty

I love this site a company that has a net worth of 2.5 trillion dollars makes over 50 billion every 4 months is now poor.

[Gamingsince1981]

"I love this site a company that has a net worth of 2.5 trillion dollars makes over 50 billion every 4 months is now poor."

That's what MS earns not what xbox earns, they aren't going to put all their profits into a failing business like xbox just to keep it alive.

[DarXyde]

"I love this site a company that has a net worth of 2.5 trillion dollars makes over 50 billion every 4 months is now poor."

It's not about being poor. It is what MS said themselves and clearly, if a division of your company is "gangrenous" it gets scaled down, if not eliminated. Publishers and platform holders do this all the time with studios.

How do you not know or understand this?

It's fair to be skeptical of what they say about anything because MS and even Sony at times are very wishy washy.

But I reckon the way they've been moving, they don't really want to stay in the console game long-term, but that's just me.

No one is saying they're going broke. They're just following Microsoft's own statements on the matter.

[Ozzy2407]

@Gamingsince1981
They are referring to this article

[TheDreamCorridor]

There is no war.

Xbox Series X|S aren't gonna outsell the PS5.

And neither Sony nor Microsoft are gonna be able to catch the Switch this generation.

It's better just to have each company do their own thing rather than compete.

[fr0sty]

Switch isn't "this generation".

[Gamingsince1981]

Switch will be beaten by ps5 before the ps5 gen is over, and switch is last gen

[Yui_Suzumiya]

Switch will likely dominate and become the highest selling console of all time.

[DarXyde]

"Switch isn't "this generation"."

HERE WE BLOODY GO!

I swear to God, it's impossible to get people to agree on where the Switch falls.

Against PS4/Xbox One, it was not the same generation. Now, same hardware from Nintendo and new hardware from Sony and Microsoft, and they're STILL not part of the same generation. It's incredible.

If no one can agree on where to place the Switch, perhaps we should just agree to ignore the concept of generations and focus on what concurrent devices are competing. Makes far more sense, especially when PC is also a competing platform and good luck trying to nail down which generation PC is "part of".

[Melankolis]

Being late doesn't mean they're not going to profit at all.
Playstation brand will play role.
Xbox might be strong in the US, but the term "Playstation" for videogaming has been replacing "Nintendo" in Asia since late 90's. Everyone knows Playstation, Xbox is a stranger here and the main franchise here isn't CoD or Western RPGs.

[Crows90]

What are you smoking. PlayStation subscription has a much bigger library.

[Zeref]

Yeah it's padded with ps1 to ps4 titles and bottom tier 3rd party games. Does it even offer ps5 titles yet? Afaik that's still not the case.

[gold_drake]

what is it with ppl thinking theres still a "console war" going on? get a grip.

also, a huge library means nothing if the content is trash

[REDGUM]

Sorry but I find you're comment delusional. Are you not keeping up with what gamers, players & users are wanting these days? If it were to be what Microsoft are offering, why such drastic differences in sales and demand for all other platforms other than the Microsoft console.
I get it, people will defend to the bitter end thier own platform preference but the worldwide sales speak for themselves in my opinion.

[smolinsk]

But Sony has the games people want.

[ironmonkey]

so xbox lost the console war and sucks?

[yeahokwhatever]

excuse me, your bias is showing.

[S2Killinit]

lol way to move goal posts

[BrainSyphoned]

A huge worn out library.

[RupeeHoarder]

Nothing too late about this…at all.

[itsmebryan]

@Raftech
This just renforces what was in the leak.. Sony is too late to the game. Gamepass and games on Xbox , PC, Steam box, Steam, Meta VR, Nvidia,... and ABK just signed a deal with Samsung. Sony has only PS5 and only about 5 games on PC .

Plus, what about content? Sony has no new1st party AAA games. That's why they have to pay for so many 3rd party games. Sony now has nowhere near the new content as Microsoft. Sony is closing studios, canceling games, and laying off people while Microsoft expanding.

I hope SONY figures somthing out

[ironmonkey]

Awww how sweet, Xbox console dead now we move to wittle digital competition. Heres a crayon, draw us a sad face clown.

[TheCaptainKuchiki]

Lmaoooo
Gamepass is 6 years old and still hasn't managed to gain much traction outside of Xbox.
There's no such thing as "toot late"

[VariantAEC]

Game Pass hasn't gained traction even on Xbox

[ChasterMies]

“Way too late.”

Is what people said when Apple introduced iPhone.

[Darkegg]

Problem is Microsoft is good at collecting money. Not developing good first party games. They consume studios. And possibly bankrupt them if they don’t deliver. If they do make games, micro transactions is their business. Microsoft will charge and nickel-dime u if they had the power.

[Profchaos]

It's funny that this is just resurrecting their earlier plans from 2013 odd. I recall PS now originally being streamable on Bravia TVs and PS Vita (maybe PSP can't quite remember) consoles as a start with plans to expand from there which never happened and eventually saw tv and vita support lapse and be relegated to PS4 only

[jukins]

Yea they were a little to early with the cloud initiative.

[thecodingart]

Eh, I’ve become a PC gamer because of this crap.

To hell with crap streaming

[just_looken]

PlayStation tv you are talking about i own one

You are right but remember sony has the tech first they toss it out 0 support horrible ads then it dies after that they blame us the gamer then toss the tech to another company or just give other companies the idea for them to roll with.

But hey in 2023 we got psp tech for the ps5 sold at $300 with fans loving it so sony can sell shit on a stick and make cash now.

Can not wait for psv3 in 2 year then kill off psvr2 like they did one buy/make studios then shut them all down after they spit out a few games.

[ApocalypseShadow]

Shit on a stick is still better than red fall and star field.

PS Portal is $200. Not $300. At least get your facts right instead of lying. PSVR works on PS5 just like PS VR 2. And PS Move works with PSVR on PS5. Does Kinect or Kinect 2 work on series consoles? Nope.

[FinalFantasyFanatic]

@thecodingart,

It was the censorship and the abandonment of Japanese games that did them in for me. Having said that, if I could play my PS Classics or some of my PS games on PC, I'd still do it as long as I don't have to turn the PS4 on.

[Hofstaderman]

Sigh. Another troll account courtesy of you know who. Please give it a rest and post under your established account. We know who you are....

[Profchaos]

Orchy strikes back.

Funny thing is I enjoy troll comments can't take everything you read seriously and it's good for a laugh

[blackblades]

I just want to play online without a sub. Makes no sense that F2P games dont require it to play online but we meaning I have to pay $80 just to play a couple fighting games online. That or at least make a bare bones sub with online only $10 a year. Hell I'll do online/cloudsave/discounts

[Zenzuu]

The amount of Xbox players suddenly jumping in here trying to justify Game Pass like it's the holy grail of gaming and thinking Sony's doom is laughable.

[anast]

Nice, MS is getting into cellphone aps these days anyway.

[FACTUAL evidence]

I think a lot of people forgot about Sony’s original plan with ‘PS now’. Ps Now literally said it wanted to be on pc and TV’s. Sony basically was the first to want a streaming service accessible to all. Just do a quick google search on ps now.
