Game subscription services have gained in popularity over the past few years. This subscription model has really taken off in the past few months. With the release of Xbox game pass, everyone has seen its true potential and how it can be an economical solution for gamers and developers.
With monthly rentals at an extreme low price, owning the pass lets the gamers access to the game for an entire month, where most games aren’t that exciting but a few of them are the real AAA titles that would have really hurt our pockets to own completely. Given that a month would suffice most gamers to complete an average AAA story driven title at a leisurely pace.
Sony is known to charge significant amount for their exclusive titles but having a subscription based model would make a lot more people willing to get a PlayStation. Their business is heavily reliant on surcharging games to make up for the loss they incur with selling the hardware.
For the first month of PS Plus, the following games are lined up:
- Stray — Already a confirmed addition for July 2022
- Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade + Episode INTERmission
- Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag
- Assassin’s Creed Unity
- Assassin’s Creed: Freedom Cry
- Assassin’s Creed: The Ezio Collection
- Saints Row IV: Re-Elected
However this is a leak from a not so reliable source which makes it sketchy at best. If it turns out to be true then AC fans are in for a treat now that some of the most well received AC titles are on the line.
Subscription services are often criticized to not bring acclaimed titles but if Sony continues to deliver 2-3 AAA titles every month, then it will be worth every penny.
