Welcome back to Next-Gen Console Watch 2020, our new show following all the news and rumors on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Series S. This week, our host Daemon Hatfield, joined by Ryan McCaffrey, host of IGN’s Xbox podcast, Podcast Unlocked, and Jonathon Dornbush, host of IGN’s PlayStation podcast, Podcast Beyond discuss the growing gap between Xbox and PlayStation’s subscription service options. While Xbox continues to grow one one of the best deals in gaming, PlayStation doesn’t seem pressured to be competitive in that space. Our cast compare and contrast Xbox’s Game Pass lineup and Game Pass Ultimate options with PlayStation’s answer across several different services (PS Plus and PS Now), with varying prices and benefits. Next up, E3 2021 is shaping up after the event’s absence from 2020’s calendar. After picking up heavyweights like Ubisoft, Capcom, Take-Two, Warner Bros. Games, Konami, Nintendo, and Xbox with Bethesda in tow, there’s a notable repeated absence from the list as Sony bows out once again. Will the console giant ever bring PlayStation back to the biggest show in gaming? Lastly, check out our poll results from last week on what you want from the future of CD Projekt Red after Cyberpunk’s troubled launch as well as our poll question for this week, which subscription service is best? Is it Xbox Game Pass, Game Pass Ultimate, PlayStation Plus (PS Plus, PS+), or PlayStation Now (PS Now)?

Short answer:no
No cuz its too busy trying to produce Triple AAA games
Three 'experts' who dont know that Playstation Now is 60 dollars instead of the mentioned 100. Really, how hard is it to check the facts before you start your podcast. Journalist, yeah right.
Everyone's trashing playstation cause their closing the playstation store but you still on those digital games some way or another you absolutely do not own anything on game pass and anything be taken down at any given time for censorship or anything Once we get game pass exclusives What happens to those games the rental program
They dont need to, they sell physical games and consoles. Seems to be working just fine for them. You dont see Nintendo having to keep up with Xbox either
Like nintendo sony don't need to because they have actual exclusives that speak for themselves which I'd rather have then again nintendo & playstation are my main consoles where Xbox is my twitch player so I'm not their intended audience for game pass
PS doesn't need a rental service like gamepass, as long as they keep making AAA bangers they'll be fine.
India does not have PSN service
This gen feels like a rerun of PS3/ Xbox360 era.
Sony being a bit too complacent of the former gens succès while M$ going full berserk and gamers friendly.
Great news for PC gamers yey
We are in the middle of the game console wars. And right now xbox is the best ride for your money.
🎮🏆💯🎉🎉🎉
It's funny how they say these games coming to gamespass are revolutionary yet they are just old content. Kind weird don't ya think?!
The jagged musician yearly punch because oak additionaly signal regarding a slow fog. useless, romantic daffodil
Nope they can't!
No cuz of Jim Ryan destroying new games by remaking games that don't need remaking.
forgetting game pass ultimate allows you to use game pass and ea play for PC to warrant the extra $20 plus xcloud and gold included
Wanna hear a joke? Ps Now 😆😂
Ya if apple gives them a few billion loan
Ryan out here blinking Morse code cuz he’s held captive
Wasn't deathloop delayed
They cant
No. Next question.
They don’t have to keep up with Xbox lmao. They could be behind and still be shitting on Xbox.
No, they can’t
Xbox allows me to play games on my PC at home, then play with my nephews on their Xbox at their house will all my progression and unlocks coming along. Priceless.
Simple answer, no. Why? Cause they can't afford it
The answer? Nope
Game pass delivering games for xbox players and salt for the others
Sony can't even keep up on producing Playstations
Customers over competition that’s Microsoft’s new goal since Phil took over the Xbox division. The best way to get customers is to offer them something the competition can’t. GamePass is their answer just like Windows was their answer for the PC market. When you can offer a service or product that is unfeasible for your competition to make at a competing price then you literally control that market. That’s how they controlled the pc space and how they hope to do with GamePass. Microsoft is the only one of the big 3 who could afford to make a service like GamePass. Worry not what your competition is doing because at the end of the day the competition isn’t going to give you a dime, it’s the customers you should be worried about making and keeping happy.
Only hardcore Xbox fans will applaud this.. it's ok.. Sony fans will be sony fans Microsoft fans will be Microsoft fans… there is nothing that's going persuade each side anymore…its 2021 these guys are heavy-hitters there's no real bad product.
PlayStation now cannot compete with gamepass at all. PlayStation now is still not even available in Australia once they allow you to download games instead of stream them it'll work in Australia but till then Sony is missing out big time!
It doesn't look like they can any more
Dump both. Build your own gaming pc and kill the consoles once and for all.
How long will Microsoft be able to keep the low subscription fee for? Will the prices still be affordable in the distant future? Anyway…
Sony fans sound like Lebron haters before he got his inevitable ring. "Oh he doesn't have a ring (exclusives) though".
Ngl Baseball is gonna be lit for Xbox and on game pass sheesh
Can they? Yes. The question is will they? Probably not. PlayStation executives are kind of out of the loop on what gamers wants.
Nope
Doesn't matter ps5 is still better yes game pass is waaaay better then psnow but ps5 is better and has better games and no bethesda games wont make xbox a better console..then PS5
Short answer no.
Long answer maybe if…..lots of ifs
Xbox gamepass is a gift from the sky and heaven… nobody can go against it… miracle in videogame 🥰
cdprojectred can't even finish cyberpunk 2077 and now they want to develop witcher and new cyberpunk game at the same time? ARE YOU OTTA YOUR MIND!
The thing is it doesn't need to lol can xbox game pass keep up with sony is the true question lol
Ps plus + ps now = Ps plus ultimate is coming soon
Hi ign team you should identify the ngcw show better sometimes is hard to find. Thanks love the show.
Game Pass would be great, if their exclusives ran on PC without contracting the services of a sorcerer to get them to launch. Looking at FH3, FH4, FM7, and Gears 5 specifically
why is everyone seem so beta maybe there not but hmmm
PS has far more games available on PS NOW than game pass has.
If PS Now gets the upgrades sony is working on. They are gonna catch up soon with how game pass works.
Microsoft has trillions. Sony dosent. Bare that in mind. Xbox can afford to take the financial hit from game pass
Nope , next silly question
