However, not being able to keep up with the offer of Microsoft’s Game Pass, on which the exclusive AAA titles arrive since the day of the launch, which, according to Sony itselfit is not playable on PlayStation consoles for a simple matter of costs, the ability to play online and the two or three free monthly titles were by now obsolete. The arrival of PlayStation Now and the coexistence of two subscriptions annoyed longtime fans, who found themselves having to make two separate monthly payments to get what could actually be considered a single service.
