PS5 Wishlist: 10 Things Sony's Next Console Must Include

3. Subscription-Free Online Play

Sony will have you believe that subscription fees are essential to maintain a quality service, but don't they make enough money from what we have shell out on the console itself, games and peripherals?

With this in mind, we'd like to see that PS5 introduce free online play across the board, reverting back to the days of the PlayStation 3.

Microsoft one-upped PlayStation when it introduced backwards compatibility for Xbox One, and killing subscription fees would be a good way for Sony to return fire.

Granted, PlayStation Plus offers some nice bonus incentives like free games and whatnot, but for those who just want to put a few past their friends on FIFA from time to time, having to shell out extra is a kick in the balls.

Free online play would be a massive incentive to choose the PS5 over the Xbox Two (or whatever Microsoft's next console happens to be called).
