With big additions like The Last of Us 2, it looks like Sony could be growing more confident with releasing its highest profile titles onto PlayStation Now, and much earlier than we're used to, though we're sure Sony will never opt to launch its biggest titles on the service on day one as is the case with Game Pass.

And while there's still no PS5 games available to play, there's a huge library of PS2, PS3 and PS4 titles all ready to be downloaded or streamed instantly. However, PlayStation Now has been transformed into a very respectable service. This meant for a very choppy gameplay experience for those who didn't have the best internet connections. Originally, a very limited number of games were available on the service, and they could only be streamed via the cloud. That said, PlayStation Now has certainly come a long way. And with its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate option, probably the most consumer friendly, as it rolls both Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Cloud Gaming into one monthly payment. Microsoft's Xbox Game Pass is arguably the biggest gaming subscription service on the block. One last thing to note is that while game streaming is available on PlayStation Now, image quality caps at 1080p, which means that you won't be able to enjoy The Last of Us 2 at a 4K resolution unless you download the game to your console.Īnalysis: is PS Now's flex enough to take on Xbox Game Pass?
