The last few months have been a little tough when it comes to PlayStation and the PS Plus Service. Though the games that have been released on the service have been quality titles like Dirt 5, Persona 5, UFC 4, and more since January. . .gamers just seem to still be upset about the selection.
I haven’t seen any issue with the recent selection, but I think I know why PlayStation fans have been a bit upset. For some reason, I feel gamers are still trying to compare PS Plus to Xbox Game Pass. Game Pass is a service that stretches’ across multiple platforms and some games are even only playable on said platforms. For instance, the February games for Xbox Game Pass are as listed:
- Dreamscaper (Console) – February 3
- Contrast (Cloud and Console) – February 3
- Telling Lies (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 10
- Besiege (Console) – February 10
- CrossfireX (Console) – February 10
- Edge of Eternity (Console) – February 10
- Skul: The Hero Slayer (Cloud, Console and PC) – February 10
- The Last Kids on Earth and the Staff of Doom (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 10
- Ark: Ultimate Survivor Edition (Cloud, Console, and PC) ID@Xbox – February 14
- Infernax (Cloud, Console, and PC) – February 14
- Mass Effect Legendary Edition (Cloud) – February 15
- Lawn Mowing Simulator (Console) – February 17
- Madden NFL 22 (Console and PC) – February 17
- Total War: Warhammer III (PC) – February 17
- Roboquest (PC) – February 22
- Galactic Civilizations III (PC) – February 24
- Super Mega Baseball 3 (Console) – February 24
- Alice: Madness Returns (PC) – February 28
As you can see, some are strictly for the Cloud and PC services, meaning that the PC games of course can not be played on Xbox consoles. This is a much large selection of games of course than PS Plus for February, but these services are not the same at all. There is still talks that PlayStation is creating a service to rival Xbox Game Pass, but until we hear more, this is what we got.
With that said, PlayStation Fans around the globe should be extremally excited for this months selections of PS Plus titles. This coming month, PlayStation fans will be receiving four fantastic titles to keep them busy for sometime. Below is more information about the games from PlayStation Official Blog Post:
