Over 200 games instead of one. This image of an Xbox fan has taken the internet by storm.
Xbox Game Pass is taking the industry by storm.
IN BRIEF:
On September 22, Internet user Idir Samir posted a picture on Twitter that perfectly sums up Microsoft’s offer at the beginning of the ninth generation of consoles and is in fact better advertising for her than official marketing materials. Illustration enjoying great popularity on the Internet (you can find it on Reddit or 4Chan forums) shows how many games we will be able to play on the PS5 and Xbox Series X / S platforms by spending $ 80.
The picture refers to the attractiveness of the Xbox Game Pass service, thanks to which you can play a large library of titles for PLN 40 a month – including exclusive productions created by Microsoft studios (on the day of the premiere). What’s more, thanks to the recent acquisition by the Redmond giant ZeniMax – the owner of Bethesda Softworks – and the planned inclusion of games from EA Play, the catalog of available titles will soon expand even further.
Xbox Game Pass also has its drawbacks
Of course, there is also the other side of the coin – games are available on Game Pass for some time and we have no influence on when they will be withdrawn from the service, which forces players to play a given title within a certain time. What’s more, the game on the disc can be resold or exchanged (of course, to buy boxed versions, we must have a console with a reader)and the money spent on Game Pass cannot be recovered in any way.
Sony is looking for its answer to Xbox Game Pass.
It cannot be denied that at the threshold of the new generation, Microsoft seems to better sense the trends in the industry. The success of the Xbox Game Pass could redefine the way we approach gaming. Sony is aware of this and is looking for an answer to the competition’s move – the best proof is the recently announced PlayStation Plus Collection service. It is true that the PlayStation 5 Showcase offer is much more modest than the one that can be used as part of Microsoft’s subscription, but on the list there are many interesting items known from PlayStation 4. In addition, to outplay them, we will only have to purchase a PS Plus subscription (no additional fees). A certain advantage on the side of PS5 can also be the huge popularity of PS4 and the extensive catalogs of games accumulated over the years, which many players will not want to part with. However, the Japanese must be aware that on this wave they will not reach the end of the ninth generation.
From other news related to Microsoft – the company has just launched its own channel on TikTok and started its presence on this platform with a compilation of memes dedicated to the Xbox Series S.
