![]() Sony has also included more of its first party titles like Spider-Man, Days Gone, and God of War, on PS Now, although typically as limited time games.Īlthough the timed rotation of the PlayStation exclusive games may not match Game Pass’s evergreen first-party titles, PS Now typically has more transparency than Xbox Game Pass, as limited duration PS Now titles provide a specific date when they will be removed from the service as soon as they are added, whereas Game Pass only announces titles that are leaving soon shortly before they are removed. PS Now formerly did not have as many recently released titles as Xbox Game Pass, but it has made moves to correct this, as games like Control and Marvel’s Avengers have both appeared on PS Now before being offered with Game Pass. The service contains over 700 titles, and more than 300 of those are locally downloadable PS4 and PS2 games. In this current form, PS Now offers a strong value. There is no backwards compatibility with the PS3, so PS3 titles remain streaming only, unlike the others. For clarity, when using a PS4 or a PS5 for PS Now, all PS4 games and PS2 classics available on the service can be downloaded locally and played from the user’s hard drive, just like digitally purchased games. There is still some confusion with PS Now on the streaming vs download question, however. It also allows for local downloads of games for PS4 and PS5 users with PS Now - just as Game Pass offers this feature for Xbox and PC users. ![]() ![]() Since that time, PS Now has functioned as a subscription service, like Xbox Game Pass, rather than a timed rental service, priced either at $10 for a month-to-month-plan, or $60 if a full year is purchased at once, lowering the monthly price to $5. PlayStation Now significantly improved to match Xbox Game Pass in 2019, and since that time it has been a very competitive value, but the efforts to communicate PS Now's changes were evidently insufficient to undo the memories of the first few years of PS Now. ![]()
