Who Wins?
PS Plus vs. Xbox Games With Gold: Which Free Games Win March?
Despite Microsoft generally providing a terrific user experience for Xbox owners, from backward compatibility to Game Pass, when it comes to free games included with its respective online service, it’s Sony that seems to be coming up trumps with the headline games. And it really is a no-brainer again this month as a result. PS Plus’ exclusive double whammy makes it easily the most appealing of the two, and it’s the sort of lineup gamers have been crying out for since the inception of free monthly games as part of the service. Bloodborne is among the console’s highest rated exclusives, and Ratchet and Clank is quite simply one of the best remakes of all time.
If you’re an Xbox owner, though, you can’t be too disgruntled. Trials of the Blood Dragon and Superhot are solid games certainly worth playing. They’re quality enough that they maintain Microsoft’s status of providing decent freebies for its user base each month. In the end, though, the takeaway is that Games with Gold never seems to quite stun and surprise enough to move from being decent to amazing, and that’s why PS Plus is increasingly becoming the more exciting of the two.
