Game Pass can only be paid for as a monthly subscription, starting at £7.99 (for either console or PC). Much like the respective library of games, the price for Game Pass and PS Now will play a huge factor in most people’s decision to sign up, but luckily the verdict is a little more clear cut this time around. When it comes to modern titles however, Game Pass tends to edge out the competition ever so slightly by nabbing major titles like Kingdom Hearts 3, Nier Automata and No Man’s Sky. Originally intended as Sony’s workaround for the PS4’s lack of backwards compatibility, PS Now has a greater emphasis on last gen games, including a bunch of PS3 classics like Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots and inFamous. Working in PS Now’s favour however is the fact that it boasts considerably more titles than Game Pass, and that’s by a huge margin of roughly 400+ games. Even then, Game Pass has the upper hand as Microsoft has now made it customary for first party titles to also appear on Game Pass from day one of release, making it a solid investment for new content. Similar to Netflix or Prime Video, most titles don’t stay on Game Pass or PS Now forever – the only ones that do are sure-fire exclusives like Gears 5 and The Last of Us. The biggest selling point – but arguably the hardest one to pick apart.
