I'm considering going for a console as opposed to GPU upgrade this year. I'm erring toward PS5 but was wondering, if I got the game pass from MS would that mean the games were available on whatever platform I wanted, PC & Console?
 
I just checked, it does apparently for £10.99/month. That's a bit of a dilemma as a single PS5 game could be around 5 month's subscription equivalent for the MS game pass.
 
Yup. Also, if you haven't got GP yet you can still take advantage of the upgrade offer. Nab three 12m Xbox Live Gold subs (~£40 each), then upgrade to Game Pass Ultimate for £1. That's you then covered for Game Pass, xCloud, and Live Gold through to 2023. Absolute steal for ~£121. Not sure how long that offer will last for now though (could well end before Series X is launched).

Every generation since the SNES I've bought every major console from Sony, Nintendo Microsoft and Sega.

I'm not loyal to anyone just like playing all the games.

Same with me but this year is going to be the most expensive as I want to buy the Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti too.......whenever they announce a release date and price :rolleyes:

They all seem to be at it now, keeping those major details till the last minute.

I wonder if at some point Sony won't be forced to do something similar to GamePass.........in which case the digital version becomes a bargain!

I've seen a few people mention across other "non-gaming" forums that they're now looking at XSX because they can just get a GamePass sub and have a portfolio of games on day one, whereas with PS5 they will need to buy a load of games (that they may not want) just to have something to play on it - makes the Day1 outlay a lot more bearable!

They do, it's called PlayStation now and it's pretty good value. £40 quid a year. Sure you don't get day 1 access to first party games, but you do get a lot of games. PS4 games you can either download them to your PS4 or stream them, and the earlier games you stream them. PS Now is more like the netflix of gaming in that games swap in and out every month or two too.

Game pass also has games coming in and out of rotation, except first and second party games stay there forever.
 
I'm pretty happy with PS Now. I use it a lot and being able to download games is a real bonus for me. Most of the Sony first party stuff ends up there eventually - just not day one.

Nobody is saying you won't see the difference, but the idea that the difference is going to be "night & day" is just madness.

I distinctly remember there being such claims at the launch of the PS4/Xbox One, however, there never was.
 
Sony need to market PS Now as much as MS do with Game Pass. Too many people say Sony dont have anything like game pass, but they really do. Wonder if people still think Now is purely streaming.

Throughout the entire current generation one console has been more powerful than the other PS4 over the One and then the X over the Pro. However, in both cases the differences between the two were just not massive.
The difference in raw power performance between the PS5 and Series X is actually less than X over Pro.

We are going to see in November two so very similar consoles with gnat's whiskers of difference in visuals and overall performance and once again it's going to be about the games.

That's exactly it. By percentage, we've had larger gaps and differences in the past as you say, however, it is dependant on the developers to produce games capable of exploiting this and producing games people actually want to play. I think we'll never have anything other than a small gap in pure power from here forward, only differences in console design with their pros and cons, additional features added like game pass, rumble triggers vs haptic triggers, and the exclusives.
