PS Plus vs Game Pass: tiers compared
| Xbox Game Pass | PlayStation Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry tier | Online multiplayer access, with a smaller rotating perks catalogue rather than the full game library. | Online multiplayer plus a modest monthly games selection — similar “access” positioning to entry Game Pass. |
| Mid / catalogue tier | Adds the full rotating console and/or PC catalogue — day-one first-party releases included while subscribed. | Adds a larger catalogue of downloadable games, closer in spirit to Game Pass’s catalogue tier. |
| Top tier | Ultimate bundles console + PC + cloud play + EA Play into one subscription. | Premium adds game trials and a selection of classic/streamed titles on top of the catalogue. |
| Day-one releases | Signature feature — first-party Xbox games typically launch directly into the top catalogue tier. | Not a standard feature; PS Plus catalogues add games after release rather than day one. |
| Is it worth it? | Both are only a good deal if you actually play what’s included. GamePassPrices runs the buy-vs-subscribe maths for Game Pass; use it alongside your own PS Plus habits to see which subscription (or neither) pays for itself. | |
Is Xbox Game Pass worth it? — FAQ
Is Xbox Game Pass worth it in 2026?
It depends on whether you actually play what’s in the catalogue. Game Pass is worth it if several games you’d buy anyway are included, or if you like trying lots of games. It’s a weaker deal if you only play one or two specific titles a year. GamePassPrices tracks the catalogue and works out the buy-vs-subscribe maths so you can answer this for your own habits rather than guessing.
How much does Xbox Game Pass cost per month?
Microsoft offers a few Game Pass tiers at different monthly price points, covering console, PC, or both plus online multiplayer and EA Play. Pricing and tier names change periodically, so check the current price on the official Xbox site; GamePassPrices focuses on whether the catalogue you get for that price is worth it, not on quoting a price that may already be out of date.
Is there a free way to track Game Pass game prices?
Yes. GamePassPrices is free to use. You can browse the full catalogue, see what’s leaving soon, and check a game’s price history without an account, and create a free account to get alerts when a game you want joins Game Pass or is about to leave.
