PS5: 10 Ways Sony Are Letting EVERYONE Down

Instead of over-investing in mediocre products and services, here's something Sony really needs to figure out.

For all of the many, many stumbles Microsoft has made over the last two gaming generations, Xbox Game Pass truly is the best deal in gaming - a bewilderingly pro-consumer service which offers an unprecedented level of value to players for a basically nominal monthly fee.

While Microsoft's first-party output has lagged far behind Sony since the launch of the Xbox One, they've managed to somewhat compensate by offering all first-party titles on Game Pass day-and-date, alongside a slew of smaller third-party releases each month.

And simply put, PS+ can't compete, at least in its current form.

With its general lack of day-and-date releases - save for the occasional smaller indie - and native PC support, PS+ doesn't feel like a must-have service, especially if you're not regularly playing games online.

Now of course, Sony's first-party AAA games tend to sell by the bucketload, so there's perhaps no real incentive for them to launch a Game Pass-style day-and-date service, but it'd sure be nice to see something in the same ballpark.

An enhanced PS+ with more day-and-date indies, and AAA games hitting the service in, say, 3-6 months? Now that would certainly make it feel more worth paying for.

But as it stands, Game Pass leaves PS+ completely in the dust.
