Microsoft’s head of gaming, Phil Spencer, said PlayStation will no doubt follow the Xbox and announce a new subscription service as well as a competitor to the Game Pass. Phil Spencer inquiry for the magazine IGN Regarding these rumors, he said a service similar to Sony’s Game Pass subscription was inevitable, and expected the new titles to be available as part of the subscription on the first day. “I do not really look at it as a confirmation. In fact, when I talk to our teams, I talk about it as inevitable. ” Spencer said.
However, according to the head of the Xbox, it is good when another variant of the Game Pass is created. “I like it because it feeds our energy on what we should continue to work on as we continue to build things we’ve done in the past. Because I think the right answer is to deliver great games, deliver them on a PC, deliver them on a console, deliver them on the cloud, make them available on the first day of the subscription. And I expect exactly that our competitor will do, “ described Spencer.
Interestingly, it was Jim Ryan, the head of the PlayStation, who claimed a year ago that subscriptions like the Game Pass were unsustainable in the long run. In addition, they are in direct conflict with the philosophy of PlayStation, so he already rejected the idea of a “PlayStation Game Pass”. For this reason, it is quite difficult to imagine that PlayStation exclusive titles in a possible subscription from Sony will appear on the day of release.
The leak of information about the upcoming subscription from Sony has been increasing since December, and it gained strength again last week. According to documents the agency has seen Bloomberg, the new service is codenamed “Spartacus” and will combine the current PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now services. The service is expected to launch for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 this spring and will have a three-tier structure. The former will reportedly include existing PlayStation Plus benefits, such as online gaming and free monthly titles. The second level offers an extensive catalog of games, as is the case with the Game Pass. The third will then add advanced demos, game streaming and a library of classic PlayStation games.
