Microsoft vs Sony Game Subscriptions

[Nomad1]

Unfortunately, it looks like PlayStation plus have given us Planet Coaster as February's free PS5 game The remaining are PS4 games.

Maybe that explains the current 50% discount for PlayStation plus

I actually was going to buy planet coaster so I may sub up

Planet Coaster is the only computer game (PC version) I’ve ever witnessed my wife play. She hates computer/console games.
Not only that, she was proper addicted too. I’d have to come down the stairs to tell to come off, as it’s 2am and got work next morning.

Just had a horrible thought they might lock full discord integration behind the top tier of Spartacus.

Good to hear. However, I'm not interested in PS Plus or PS Now, as there is nothing interesting to play on PS5 .

Game trials?! I dont even know where to start with that. Hopefully a wind up.

Spartacus three subscription tiers Essential, Extra, and Premium - said to $10 USD, $13, and $16 a month respectively

Given that the monthly sub price for PSN+ is $9.99 that seems plausible. Annual subscriptions should be a lot less (around 60% of the equivalent 12 x monthly price).

So Sony are currently doing a free 7day trial of PS Now. But it looks like it just has PS3 and PS4 games.

With PS Plus, can you get the older free games that were missed the previous months?

April 2022 PS Plus games

Hood: Outlaw and Legends, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Battle for Bikini Bottom – Rehydrated, and Slay the Spire

What do you think?

SpongeBob is a great franchise but I've no idea what the game's like. Will give it a go just for that.

TBH it's all a bit meh again.

Ha ha, Sponge Bob is a good franchise after all I guess. Is the PS5 game any good?


COD Vanguard or Black Ops would be good to see on PS Plus.

Chances of seeing another Cod on PS+ are very slim what with Microsoft looking to own Activision-Blizzard.

Mibbes aye, mibbes naw.

Microsoft have made an offer but do not currently own Activision Blizzard. This deal will take at least another year to complete provided it clears the regulatory hurdle in the US.

I believe the deal will pass, but it’s not a slam dunk. There are some influential senators against it e.g. Elizabeth Warren, though I’m sure they’ll get over their objections after a suitable campaign donation.

It was a decent platformer on the PS2. I was under the impression that the remaster/remake was good fun.

PS Plus is terrible the games on offer are a nonsense in terms of Microsoft subscriptions. They list dead multiplayer games that little to no one is interested in.

If you insist on comparing with MS then Games with Gold has equally lame months to PS Plus, you don’t see anyone posting about it here every time it happens.

Please inform us what exciting titles have come with GwG over the first 4 months of this year for example.

And amazing story in the link btw, “some users on Reddit moaned about this months games.”

Whilst I think PS plus isn't great that article is terrible.

It uses Reddit posters to back up the argument You will probably find the same grumbles from the xbox gold section of Reddit each month.

 

[shoemaker666]

I have xbox live gold and i dont think ive played a single games with gold game in years because despite getting 4 games every month they are mostly bad old games.

PS+ is better then xbox live gold in my opinion
and Gamepass ultimate is better than the ps+ premium offering in my opinion
