Xbox Game Pass vs PlayStation NOW

Video game services on consoles are on the rise. Sony and Microsoft are competing in new and innovative ways - let's take a deeper look!

Console gamer friends - do you use either of these services?

Playstation has in my opinion a better library, but Xbox has a better service.

One of the best things xbox did was put FH4 on gamepass👍

Game pass is killer! Fora Horizon 4 and over 100 games instantly for download. Lots of first party games available when they launch like Crackdown 3. Brand new $60 games and over 100 titles available for $10/ month - totally worth it.

I liked it better when PS Plus wasn’t needed to play online games you already payed for.

[JoeTurok]

Game Pass is the reason I bought my Xbox one X.

[decayedphoenix]

Gamepass is much cheaper and the library is pretty good

Gamepass wins in my opinion

I’ve never seen xbox and playstation players get along so well.

I’m a PS4 player and even I know that Xbox Game Pass is a MUCH better deal than PS NOW. It’s literally half the price monthly, and gives you the lates games releasing.

Can I just say that I like xbox and playstation equally without getting yelled at they both have their pros and cons

[knucklest]

forza horizon 4 is on xbox game pass. coming from a ps4 player, the game pass is much better.

As an owner of both consoles who has tried both i will say this:

Game pass is better.

Here's why. PS now may have more games than gamepass and some great ones that gamepass doesn't have like red dead redemption and mortal kombat 9 (although gamepass just got mkx) gamepass is simply more reliable. PS now is a streaming service so if you have dodgy internet or no internet at all you are screwed whereas on the gamepass you download it like a normal game and then if you buy it you are basically unlocking it forever and don't have to download again. PS now is also more expensive. Gamepass always has special deals on. I've subscribed two different times now for £1 each so in total I've had 2 months of gamepass for £2. That's literally cheaper than a happy meal. PS now i only played the free 7 day trial and managed to beat infamous 1 and 2 but then i cancelled it because it's over £50 a year. On top of all of this, gamepass has got all it's big current gen exclusives in it along with every exclusive from now on going into gamepass on release day. A recent example being forza horizon 4 and soon crackdown 3.

So add all that up and gamepass wins. PS now has the advantage of slightly more games and not having to download due to it being streaming but with that comes a major downside having to always be online and it falls short on price/deals and not having exclusives put on the service at launch like xbox.

This is from a fair, none biased point of view from somebody with both and my conclusion is that xbox's gamepass is the clear winner.

So in other words, Xbox game pass wins

I mean the xbox has actual backwards compatibility for alot of physical 360 and xbox games I believe which is great! Cheap as chips!

PS Now service is terrible,
some games have a standard regional language. I'm living in the Dutch part of Belgium and some games are entirely in French.
That's one huge slap in the face, I mean, I don't care for Dutch language anyway, I prefer the original language of a game.
But having to go through all games in French is just a drag. And the funny thing is, they even confirm this fact and say there is nothing they can do.
So i think ps now has allot to make up before they even want to have a big client base. PS Now it seems they just don't even care.

Me and my friends use the Xbox game pass on pc, I fucking love that Microsoft is trying so hard to make their games available for everyone unlike Sony. I'd rather support a company that doesn't make as good games but cares about their consumers. I can watch the games on youtube anyway.

[sebastianwasiewicz]

it would be sick to have a full library of all the xbox originals...

[hmad]

You know what would be cool? If console players didn’t argue about which box is better

[princepuff]

Or you could just buy the games. Especially if you have terrible internet (like me).

Games Pass Ultimate is out, it’s literally heaven. The first time you get it then it will be $1. It gives you one month but if you have 6 months of live, and 2 months of regular game pass, then it will combine all. Making its 1+2+6=9 months of game pass ultimate. It’s worth your money.
