10 Moves PlayStation MUST Make

10. Scrap PS Plus

PS Plus used to the greatest subscription service in gaming, but now... well, let's take a look at its most recent games: Ghostrunner, ARK, Team Sonic Racing and Ghosts of Tsushima: Legends.

Or, to put it another way - an 18 month old indie game that regularly sells for under a tenner; a badly designed survival game at least three years past its prime; the worst entry in the SEGA racing series; and a DLC pack that's already free if you bought the base game.

Honestly, as a long-time PS Plus subscriber it's hard not to feel more and more let down with the service each passing month. The standard of the "free" games (that you have to pay a subscription for) has been declining steadily since the turn of the decade, and with Microsoft's Game Pass offering games of similar (and often superior) quality each and every week, PS Plus feels like an embarrassment.

There's a Haruki Murakami story where one of the characters talks about meeting a classmate who was queen bee at high school, but has since lost everything that made her special. Her beauty has faded, her wit has dulled, and the only one who hasn't realised it is her.

PS Plus is that former beauty queen. Its time is up, and it needs to accept that rather than pretend everything is still like it was when it ruled the roost.
