It can. But it isn’t yet. If they remove all the “trash” games and start filling the library up with big AAA games and a selection of smaller good games. But even then they need to do more to compete with GamePass as they need to offer all their exclusive games in PS Now.
Then it would compete against GamePass. As of now it’s not even remotely close to do that.
Wild how sites are milking this. Everything for some clicks these days...and in the process confusing less technical insightful people.
It needs to be like GamePass. It’s as easy as that. Because as of now it’s a few times exclusives and a bunch of filler crap games.
Not that it will help allot seeing how blurry the game is in docked mode and even in portable mode. It’s really cool the game is in the Switch but it’s absolutely the worst way you can play the game..
When my gaming setup sudden got occupied by my little boy.... >D
But better...
I’m really excited to try Ghost Recon Breakpoint on Stadia. I’ve tested it on all platforms now and while the XboxOneX does a good job it’s not optimal at all. Especially at 30FPS. My PC can run it at 60FPS but just at 1080p and with visual sacrifices.
However on Stadia it’s 4K 60FPS with all the bells and whistles at maximum. All that remains to be seen is if the latency and bitrate will be good enough.
If it is...well then I don’t need a PC or consoles ...
Gaming on iPad is great now with controller support and so many great games in Apple Arcade and not. And soon with xCloud and Stadia you can get access to even more. Options is always nice.
We’ll see. I’ll be there to try it out once it launches. That’s the benefit of not beefing a pathetic fanboy. You get to enjoy so much more this hobby has to offer. Now bring on the downvotes from the triggered sheep’s.
It was not popular on Xbox and it wont be on PlayStation. It's just not a especially good game. Sorry but that's just the cold hard truth. There a reason it never took of.....it's to weird and niche.
Who else has been looking after a CRT monitor after they watched Digital Foundry talk about this? :D
It does not you troll.
If Microsoft can then surely Sony can too. Especially with its large user base. And seeing a relative “small” install base buying their exclusives it could mean that percentage could really become much much higher.
@specialguest
You buy a license for digital PC games just as on Stadia or any other platform. The games can be removed at any moment a publisher or Steam decides to do so. Sure Steam has a offline mode that you can engage to prepare to play offline. But it's not a permanent option. After a while you will need to reconnect and then you lose your games if you cant.
@HusbandAndWifeGaming
And exactly the same can happen on all other platforms where you buy digital games. Only difference is you have local hardware compared to Stadia.
And how is that any different from buying a digital game on Xbox,Nintendo or PlayStation? Even PC....
PlayStation is king and that's just how it is. I doubt much will change with the next-gen consoles to be honest. But just because PlayStation is king dont mean the alternatives aren't great or even better choices for some. I'm just glad I'm privileged to own the platforms I want. Would be frustrating to just play on one of them...
Honestly because PS Now has been so underwhelming. But that can and will hopefully change in the time ahead. So it will probably be a trio with Stadia,xCloud and PS Now that will really push game streaming to the masses.
4K and 4K textures on the X...and it’s included with GamePass. Oh la la..... :D
