Will The New PlayStation Plus Come To PC?
Sony's new and expanded PlayStation Plus is a more effective competitor to Microsoft's Game Pass, but it is still almost entirely exclusive to consoles, except for the highest tier's inclusion of cloud-based streaming to PC. PlayStation Plus' upcoming Extra and Premium subscription tiers will offer the same major draw as Game Pass, an extensive catalog of games available for download at no extra cost, but Microsoft's service is more widely functional. The PC gaming market is a dedicated and constantly growing demographic, but will Sony eventually seek to further expand its revamped PS+?
Since its inception and up until the new price points take over in June, PlayStation Plus has long been a direct competitor to Xbox Live Gold. PS+ has been required for online play since the PS4 released, with the added benefit of subscribers being gifted a few free games every month. The new PS+ will include classic PlayStation games alongside more recent titles, while still retaining its original purpose. It will be possible to stream games on PC through PS+, but that is so far the platform's only functionality with the service. At launch, a significant portion of the new PS+ catalog will be first-party exclusives, which may be the best indicator of difficulties Sony would have in bringing the service more concretely to PC.
