Yesterday a new report was published from Bloomberg detailing Sony’s plans to introduce a new subscription service to compete more in line with what Microsoft has done with Game Pass. The difference for Sony is instead of day one releases, Sony will be leveraging their legacy titles.

#Sony #PlayStation #PS5
That would kinda suck if they removed Playstation Now. It would be a nice service for pc if they added more old games to it. Otherwise they are losing potential money to emulation
In my opinion, Game Pass doesn’t look like a very stable form of business, if Playstation does it, they’re gonna need a way to keep their financial bubble from bursting
So dumb to pay for ps now if im already paying plus 🤦🏻
I’m of the mind that legacy software should be available for purchase individually, but I am just not willing to pay a monthly subscription to play old games, when there are so many modern games being offered.
For me personally Sony is years too late on this. Gamepass got me to switch from PS4 to Xbox One as my main console, and if they came out with a gamepass competitor at launch I would have considered a PS5, but now I already have an Xbox Series. Plus this just sounds like it’s going to be very expensive for the top tier. I love playing PS1 and PSP games so I’d want the top tier, but I’m already playing those games for free on my Xbox, so it’d have to be a free bonus to whatever tier is competitive in price with gamepass.
If it inculdes all psn now games that will put it way above the amount of games that gamepass has.
They also need to make it where we can buy all these old games not just on a subscription service Sony is just money hungry all their gaming console should be backwards compatible
Why is no one talking about the executive who got caught trying to lure children to his house?
The appeal of gamepass is BIG TITLES being on gamepass day 1.
Sounds pretty stupid, typical Sony.
I wanna play PSNOW but it’s not available here in Australia
Psp Ridgeracer on my big screen would be awesome.
Ofc it’s locked behind the more expensive tier
What about Crunchyroll Premium? Game Pass holders got it at no charge. Sony owns Crunchyroll and Funimation and PS+ Owners dont have anything.
There’s only three questions that need to be answered
1) how much content do we get?
2) how well does it work?
3) How much does it cost?
When will this industry learn that legacy titles and subscription services don’t mix!
Are people happy or sad about this. I can’t tell.
Oh god I pray that Sony does this right. People are not happy with what the pricing might be. I am hoping it us just an expansion to PS plus so it stays at 60 MAX. at basic PS+ tier 1 will be 40. Tier 2 50 and final 60 🤞😰
Typical Sony, can’t compete at all so joining one turd service with another to make a single steaming turd. Zero launch day games, no back compatibility upgrades. Pointless as usual.
To me it is all going to depend on the price and how many games are going to be on there from each platform
PlayStation do not have to counter GamePass when game pass in itself it’s failing in the grand scheme of thing game pass is available on everything and they have 18 million subscribers in perspective Disney plus launch in year they have over 100 million subscribers not to mention all those dollar subscribers they have if this is true I think it’s something different a way to access PlayStations old library of games
I will pay top tier if I get to play my discs
I won’t give them a dime if it’s only streaming.
That will be an epic fail. The service already sounds trash if you’re comparing it to the subscription service King witch is Game Pass. It sounds more like the greedy Sony knows they have the dumbest fanbase in the history of fanbases that are now going to pay for backwards compatibility. LMAO. Thats all free on Xbox and the games are enhanced automatically plus you can pay a one time fee of $20 and legally emulate every console and game that was damn near ever released through all generations of gaming, that includes old Sega, Nintendo and even Sony games all on Xbox. As it stands the PS5 is the most pointless console in the history of gaming when compared to the Xbox Series X|S.
Just get a Xbox for game pass and buy ps4/5 games on the PlayStation console. That’s what I do and I’m enjoying it. Unless Sony drop new games on the service (like gamepass), I don’t see any competition.
This guy’s passion for game info is outstanding
Maybe I’m late to comment but the Sony’s game pass is, in my opinion, just an intent to take attention from Halo & the Game Pass success due to not having any big game or anything good launching this Holydays. Note that this rumor does not should be compare to Game pass since is a rename and regroup of current services from PS and its kind of bad individual and will be same. The person running the rumor have run other rumors that didn’t came true. Hopefully gets to be as good as Xbox game pass until then is just rumors and fantasies about what people want. If you want a game pass get an Xbox or on PC for now.
I rather pay for a year up front n hope it’s not to much n they do some thing like game pass ultimate price wise
I wish Sony would release PS Now in Australia
But my question is will they all most have trophy 🏆 support
spawn
Any news con the sega console?
I would get it. Sounds fun
If I can play Sonic Riders on my tv screen again I’d be happy
I’m done buying licenses to play something I have on disc. Glad my PS3 slim is on custom firmware and all those games I have on disc are «backed up» :-).
How much work would it be for a gran turismo title to be re-released? I’m currently playing gt 5 on my ps3 with my t150 wheel and th8a shifter. If this game was on ps5 I would want a Q.O.L improvement along the lines of support for newer wheels!
I don’t want to pay for any subscriptions I would rather just buy the game out right, plug in an
old console or download to my gaming laptop.
Playstation now isn’t available in many places outside America, we do have in Australia but we have Gamepass
Grain of salt people…
If they do start bringing over good games from past generations, then they’ll have a pretty good service; especially if they have the option to buy said games at a reasonable price. There are quite a few classics that need to bring back.
happy how far you have come with your channel.
Doa if they cant get ps3 games working without needing to stream, i dont see how they will compete with microsoft regardless going forward
An “Answer” to Game Pass without the best features of Game Pass. Got it
Soooo let me get this straight. Sony fans have been slamming Microsoft saying “Gamepass only has old games”…..when gamepass has many day one releases and all first party games day one… Sony is going to make a gamepass equivalent-ish…and it mainly has Old games, and fist party games …eventually…like day 365? Um…Sony. If your going to compete…COMPETE Damnit!!!!
Gamepass ultimate is $180 a year kids
My friend got it $30/yr
It’s too late for Sony. They don’t care about backwards compatibility, It’s a afterthought to them. They might hold the top spot for consoles sold but for Live Service , they suck.
This is great for keeping the old titles alive but it would be great to have day one releases.
Got a Series S on Black Friday and I STILL haven’t even touched my PS5…actually, that’s a lie. I tuned it on to charge my vape pen xD Having a blast playing Halo Infinite, love clapping Spartan cheeks
Believe it or not, Microsoft is doing it right with Game Pass. That’s why others are now following… whether they do it right or not it’s a whole different story!
If they really want to make it a competitive service, even without day & date, they need to expand it beyond the Playstation hardware. Exspa ND the ecosystem not the hardware. One of the reasons GP is popular is because your not tied to purchasing new $300-$500 hardware.
Mass media are telling this «Sony Gamepass»
Damn. PS Now and Ps Plus are before Game Pass, and both doesn’t have first party day one, I don’t understand the claim «Sony’s Gamepass»
You can guarantee that it will be way overpriced for what you are getting with Sony’s recent pricing structure
Resistance retribution was one hell of a game for the PSP
So, Xbox gives you older games natively and for free without a paywall via a sub service with things like FPS boost and Auto HDR. Sony gives you games via the cloud (like they showed us in a patent they published) behind the most expensive tier. That just ain’t it. Their second most expensive tier offers many PS4 games and select PS5 games but without day one releases and a smaller library than GamePass it won’t compete. It will do better than PS Now, yes, and it is good that they combine PS+ and PS Now but this is just an unnecessary service atm if true.
GAWD I hope they do this. Think about it:
PS1, 2, and 3 like they said they’d focus on pre-PS4 launch…
PS NOW GONE… (idk why I think this is a good thing but I never bothered)…
*BUT BEST OF ALL*…
Join XBOX in making Nintendo’s online service look EVEN WORSE. MAN I hate Nintendo right now… and Actizzard… and even Sony a lil …

The creative games from the days of old are exactly the reason why people play old games and people like Jim Ryan are too idiotic and superficial («omg look at muh graphics») to understand. It’s like movies and TV where people pay attention to the story, writing, camera work, acting, etc., instead of just looking for their favorite actors, actresses, directors, and assuming the film budget equals a good movie/show. If even financial giants like Amazon can’t make good games, then it proves that developing them requires a certain talent and experience that other non-gaming jobs and fields just don’t have. Mr. Ryan does not seem to convey that he knows this. It doesn’t help that he is a numbers guy, as it’s been said many times, over a video game guy. You wouldn’t hire an artist to do a mathematician’s job, and vice versa.
Hold on where can I find PS1 games on the current gen store?
If they just bundle PS+ with PS Now like how MIcrosoft does with XGP, then that’s already worth it.
I would love to have instant access on my PS5 to my existing digitally purchased PS1-3 and PSP/Vita games, or just pop in the discs and play them if it’s just a standard emulation layer, similar to the old software BC for PS2 games on some PS3 models.
