PS Plus vs. Xbox Games With Gold: Which Free Games Win June?
Despite yet another month in which Sony’s PS Plus free games are headlined by an acclaimed AAA package, we’re giving July to Microsoft and Xbox Games with Gold. And no, it’s not because we’re just tired of QTEs. Well, maybe a little actually… But more to the point, the Xbox games this month are entirely comprised of critically-acclaimed packages that boast stunning gameplay across a range of different genres. From the chaotic twin-stick action of Assault Cactus Showdown and the brain-teasing co-op gameplay in Death Squared to the stealth action of Splinter Cell Conviction and nuanced beat em’ up combos of Virtua Fighter, there’s something for everyone here – both in a single-player and multiplayer capacity.
Look, we get it: Detroit Become Human was a big hit and Sony’s offering something similar for anybody with a voracious appetite for the thrills and spills of Cage’s storytelling. But variety is the spice of life, and we’ve had our fill of that particular flavor, for now, thank you very much. So while Sony’s offering technically packs more value this month with its more expensive and higher total number of games in July, the gameplay package on offer from Microsoft takes the crown.
