It has become a norm for game subscription services to launch new content every month. However, every time the lineup is announced, it still affects the hearts of many players.
Monthly updated game lineup
In March, Sony added ten games to its PS Now service. This update covers a variety of game types, such as large-scale action role-playing games and realistic racing simulation types, giving players a variety of choices and punctuation marks.
In this lineup, works such as "God Eater: Resurrection" have been paid attention to. These games originate from console platforms of different generations such as PS4, PS3 and PS2. A total of more than 650 games can be experienced through this service.
Introduction to key game content
This game, listed as the leading game this month, is a well-known action RPG. This type of game generally has a grand world view and a deep character growth system, which can provide dozens of hours of immersive experience.
Also added at the same time were the immersive racing game "Project Racing" and the motorcycle racing game "Moto Racing 4", which meet the needs of players who pursue driving control and speed excitement, thereby enriching the sports and competitive content within the service.
Subscription prices and promotions
In September, Sony provided new users with a different entry-related offer. For new subscribers, they can experience the PS Now service for a full month at a price of $9.99, which is a full month.
For long-term users, a full-year subscription costs US$99.99. In addition, PS Plus members can enjoy a special discount and obtain this service for US$29.99, which is a significant saving compared to the regular price.
Recent updates to service features
Just this month, PS Now completed a feature update, which is quite important. For subscribers, you can now share access to your game library with friends who are on the same PS4, allowing them to be shared.
This means that as long as there is an active subscriber on the console, other friends who use the device to carry out activities can also enjoy the more than 650 games within the scope of the service. Such behavior lowers the threshold for multiple people to have fun together, thereby increasing the value of family sharing provided by the service.
Review of last month’s popular games
Looking back at August, the list of the most popular games on PS Now reflects the diverse tastes of gamers. On that list, there are open-world classics like Red Dead Redemption, as well as narrative-driven titles like The Last of Us.
Well-known on the list are sports games, such as "NBA 2K16" and "WWE 2K16". At the same time, games with unique styles are not uncommon, such as "Mafia 2" and "Fallout: New Vegas". This situation shows that while the game library of the subscription service can meet the needs of mainstream players, it can also meet the needs of niche players.
The value and trends of subscription services
One game subscription service that is changing players' spending habits is game subscription services such as PS Now, which allow players to take advantage of a relatively low fixed monthly fee to access a large and continuously updated game library without having to pay full price for a single game.
This model is similar to streaming media in the film and television field. It can be said that it has become a definite trend in the industry and can reduce the risk of trying new game types. It is especially suitable for players who do not have enough time and want to experience a variety of games.
As for you, would you be willing to continue spending money to subscribe to a huge game library, or would you prefer to carefully select and own a few of your favorite games?
