I mean that would be an awesome bullet point....if they were games the caliber of what Sony and Nintendo produce. So far GamePass has seen what? Sea of Thieves, State of Decay 2, Crackdown 3 Day and Date. Games that didn't perform well review or perception wise. Sea of Thieves from what I understand could make a comeback tho.
Did it get Forza? Will it get Gear of War 5? Will it get Halo Infinite? I question how far they will take the "1st Party Games Day One" rule. Doing so could really cripple some well performing title's sales at retail. It reminds me of when Sony first started doing Free games with Plus subscription. It was all fun and games until when the PS4 came out they saw a drop in lesser AA title sales because everyone was like "Oh, it will end up on Plus for free so I won't buy it". I think Sony facetiously didn't put many games as Plus titles (Like Knack for the longest) just to break that mindset. |
It’s not just Microsoft games that show up on GamePass on day one. They strike deals with various companies to bring their games day one. Mutant Year Zero, Ashen, Below, just to name a recent few. It also just got the newest Tomb Raider. It also has Fallout 4 and Doom. There’s not only support from MS’s own games day one, they get much better third party support.
Theres also the fact that GamePass allowed downloads from the start, Sony only started allowing downloads after GamePass launches, and only for PS4 titles. Everything else you have to stream, and in my experience the streaming on PSNow is doodoo. Plus it’s overpriced. Chalk that up as another reason people might be more excited for Microsoft’s cloud service, they’re much better and more prepared for it.
Lastly Microsoft actually markets GamePass. Sony doesn’t seem to give a shit if people know about PSNow.
