PlayStation Plus Tier Vs Xbox Game Pass
To be honest, Xbox Game Pass has dominated the gaming era for quite some time. The competition between the PlayStation and Xbox has grown day by day.
Anyone could tell you that the Xbox Game Pass was doing well compared to PlayStation Plus. However, now Sony has decided to make its move.
With the launch of these amazing PlayStation Plus tiers in June, we can say that the gap between both industries has almost dropped to zero.
The Xbox Game Pass Ultimate offers you up to 300 games at 14.99$, which is almost the same as PlayStation Plus Extra. However, in extra, you can enjoy up to 400 games.
Whereas Game Pass Ultimate also contains Xbox 360 games, day one releases at the same price. However, in PlayStation, you would need to pay $17.99/month to get your hands on the classics. The yearly cost of all PlayStation Plus tiers is also much lower.
Final Thoughts
Sony has come a long way from releasing PS1 in 1994 to launching PS5 in 2020. With every passing year, they are making continuous advancements so that their users can enjoy gaming to the core. Releasing new PlayStation Plus Tiers is also one of them. Hence, we can hope for even more amazing tiers in the future.
