The Xbox might fall laughably behind PlayStation in terms of sales, but there's one area where Microsoft holds a sizable lead over Sony: video game subscriptions.
As the Game Pass expands its offerings (and, somehow, make money), Sony is feeling the pressure, especially following the Activision Blizzard acquisition. Perhaps in response, Sony is expanding PlayStation Plus outside of PlayStation.
According to leaked presentation slides, Sony wants to bring PS Plus to desktops, mobile devices, browsers, and smart TVs, as part o fits attempt to broaden the service's appeal and accessibility.
The goal is to turn PS Plus into a globally attractive and exciting service. Sony wants to achieve this by leveraging its exclusive-rich content library, extending its service to new platforms to form new strategic partnerships. The expansion into mobile and PC gaming is particularly noteworthy, as Sony intends to combine first-party and third-party content to create a compelling value proposition for customers. This approach includes tapping into local market preferences and commercial models, thereby enhancing the service's appeal to a broader audience.
