Looking at getting a PS5 to replace my Sons Series S...I'll keep the X plugged in with the PS5 on my TV, and since most of the games he plays on his are available on the PC, he can always use it that way..

My concern, is that I've been in the Msoft environment for almost 20 years now..In that time, I've played everything at least once (almost literally) and i still only have a handful of games that i circle back to ( I still play BF4 with a crew)..

Is PSPlus similar to gamepass ? Am I able to just subscribe and play that list of games ? For the free monthly one, do you keep that as long as your sub is gone ?

Thought of a few more:

Can you have two profiles on one PS and share the plus ?
Is there a certain HD that this thing will prefer ? i had to buy the special "internal hd" for the Xbox otherwise the games would not run properly

meh... they've come out with a tier subscription similar to GamePass, but it's game list is lacking.

it will remain in your library, but your membership must be active to play it.

Looks like it has God of war and ghost, which are honestly two I've never played

For ps5 games I would say yes even though the best ones are on there. god of war, ghosts, and horizon. I think battlefield is the monthly game rt now. But you could also get the EA pass and all those EA games are free.

But he’s never had a PlayStation it would seem so also a frick ton of shite he would have missed on the ps4.


Basically what I’m saying is the amount of games is not lacking unless you’ve already played them all over the years across the multiple systems.

the higher tier subscription has a log of games like gamepass. i dont know how extensive it is in regards to ps4 titles, which he shouldnt pass on. there are very few ps5 exclusives right now and ps4 still has teeth.

As for the monthly "free" games you can keep those as long as you snag them during the free month. if your subscription ever expires i think you lose them.

You dont lose them from your library, you just cant play them without your subscription active.

Plug it in and play. You can add an additional SSD for more space if you would like but nothing extra is needed


also as long as you have ps plus on your main account , you can have as many alt accounts as the system allows (no clue on max but I’ve had 10 at one point lol)
