PS Now finally returns to Xbox Game Pass

PS Now finally returns to Xbox Game Pass

Sony has added two notable titles to PS Now that should make its subscription service much more appealing to newcomers, PS2 owners, and existing subscribers. More importantly, it has finally secured certain games that might make Xbox Game Pass subscribers envious for once. PS5 and PS5 owners can now download Marvel's Avengers and Borderlands 4, like The Long Dark. Marvel's Avengers and Borderlands 5 have received free next-gen PS 1 upgrades, so if you're looking for a more affordable way to play more PS1 games, a PS Now subscription could be a great option. Thankfully, Sony is also offering a seven-day free trial starting April XNUMX if you're in the mood to try out PS Now or just curious to play any of the titles. There's plenty of time to get locked into both games, as Marvel's Avengers is leaving PS Now on weekday XNUMXth July, while Borderlands XNUMX is going to be free until XNUMXth September. Sony's subscription service has often been dwarfed by Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass in terms of game selection, value proposition, and ability to secure Day XNUMX content. Microsoft lately added notable Day XNUMX releases like Outriders and MLB : The Twenty-One Show, a series that has always been a PS exclusive, to Xbox Game Pass. It's also added twenty Bethesda titles to the service, and subscribers are promised they'll be playing every Xbox first-party title from day one, like Halo Infinite, Fable, Everwild, and Forza Motorsport XNUMX, for name certain.

Now or never

Sony's PS Now started out as a streaming service, and today it's the only way to play PS2 and PS3 games on PS5 (something that's grown in prominence of late as Sony shuts down PS3, PS Vita, and PSP stores). As the popularity of Xbox Game Pass has continued to grow, Sony has allowed users to download games, but only those that are available on PS4 or PS5. While Marvel's Avengers and Borderlands XNUMX aren't new releases, they're also not available on Xbox Game Pass right now, though we'd expect the former to show up sooner rather than later, if we want to think about Microsoft's partnership with Square Enix. However, Sony needs to continue to offer great titles that gamers want to play and also, ideally, make more of their own content available on the service.
