Microsoft has scored an incredible goal with the launch of Xbox Game Pass . For many months, the Redmond service has allowed subscribers to enjoy a spectacular huge library of games that is refreshed every month with the arrival of new games. It is a very interesting incentive that is attracting the eyes of many users, so Sony seems to have started to make a move.
PlayStation Plus Collection, a library of hits?
With the idea of motivating users with the arrival of PlayStation 5, Sony has decided to create the PlayStation Plus Collection service , a library of games reminiscent of Microsoft’s proposal, however, it has several important differences, and it is that its price It is included in the PlayStation Plus service , so the final price is cheaper than Microsoft’s.
Will Sony increase the monthly fee for PlayStation Plus? At the moment it is something that has not been confirmed, but it seems too generous to us to include this type of service completely free of charge to subscribers. Who knows if as the library grows, the price of the monthly fee will grow as well.
That said, you will only need a PlayStation Plus account to access the game library, so it is a very attractive item for all those who buy a PlayStation 5 from the day of launch, since they will be able to access a great number of games at no additional cost.
What games does it offer?
At the moment the list of games that the service will offer does not reach the extension that is reached in Xbox Game Pass, but the interesting thing in this aspect is that the games included are of high quality. This is the list of the first 18 games that were seen in the last PlayStation conference dedicated to PS5:
- Batman: Arkham Knight
- Battlefield 1
- Bloodborne
- Days gone
- Detroit: Become Human
- Fallout 4
- Final Fantasy XV
- God of war
- Infamous second son
- Monster hunter world
- Mortal Kombat X
- Person 5
- Ratchet and clank
- Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
- The Last Guardian
- The last of us
- Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End
- Until Dawn
Can I access the PlayStation Plus Collection from my PS4?
According to the official information published on the PlayStation blog, the service is defined as an option available “for owners of a PS5 with PS Plus”, so everything indicates that we will not be able to access the catalog from a PS4. So no, you are going to need a PlayStation 5 to enjoy this catalog so sweet.
Is it better than Xbox Game Pass?
One of the most recognized features of Xbox Game Pass is the ability to get the latest releases created at Xbox Game Studios completely free of charge. This allows us to get hold of games like Halo Infinite on launch day, the latest Gears of War or Microsoft Flight Simulator , which is a brutal handicap when defining the service.
In the case of PlayStation Plus Collection, it is nothing more than a library of games that have already been released with more or less tradition, but which are hugely successful titles that have garnered great reviews around the world. However, most of them are the typical games that made a month of the Plus special for receiving an authentic game as a gift. Will we lose that feeling from now on? Time will tell.
