PlayStation VR stands out as offering the best combination of accessibility, content, and power, and earns our Editors' Choice.
PlayStation Plus has improved the split of PS4 and PS5 players on its priciest tiers, but Sony continues to hide total subscriber numbers.
Uh...They're definitely not equivalent.
"Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass service now has 34 million subscribers."
"the total number of PS Plus subscribers across all tiers was 47.4 million"
That PSN number seems like it should be much higher... especially when you consider that PS4 alone has a sell through of over 117m. To not even be at least half that is rather interesting.
To the XB side, having 34m to an install base of roughly 50m (XBO sell through) or even 85m (360 sell through) is a greater percentage of unit to member ratio than PSN.

Have you ever heard of a PC before? I hear they are pretty popular.
What. Definitely more os plus subscribers but that makes sense due to actual console sales
Darth the difference between the bases are huge your right but you gotta think. Ps players buy more games, where as the Xbox base relies on gamepass for their gaming. So it makes perfect sense
What makes perfect sense though? You say PS players buy more games... so then logically there should be more PS+ subscribers given the increased number of online multiplayer games in the PS4 generation alone. The PS4 was the first time that + was required for online play much like Gold was for 360 users.
Keep in mind we are talking subscribers, not simply XB/PS users. I assume you meant to say offline single player games, which is most likely true as well. That gen also saw a significant increase in games with an online component comparted to the previous gen.
I for one will be going back to essential at the next renewal. When I feel a game is good & right up my alley, I’ll check trusted reviews & just buy it.
I have the top tier until 2028 as they gave me a massive discount for all the years I had left but I’ll most likely go to essential as well. I buy my games but my kids do use the service occasionally. They do prefer to own their games as well since any game can leave the rental service at some point and they don’t like that idea. They mostly use it to demo games then ask me to buy games if they really like it.
For me, I will cancel it all together but unfortunately I still have it till 2030 lol
I would like to see Sony add a fourth tier of PS Plus for people who just want to be able to play games online without any of the perks like monthly games, store discounts, or anything like that, and it should cost $20 annually, $30 maximum. There’s no way I’m paying $80 just to play games online. Even the original $60 fee was too much, and I would often wait for sales to re-up my subscription.
Essential is too expensive, I agree. We’ve got one Essential and one Premium sub. Dropping the Premium when it expires.
Just let my subscription lapse for the first time since 2010. Will sub again every now and then for a month or so to access my old ps+ games but for me it's the end of an era.
Let those numbers continue to drop because it is now too expensive. $80 per year just to play online. I noticed they didn't offer any discounts on the subscription or controllers during this year's days of play for the first time in many years and they will feel it when people choose not to renew.
My subscription will lapse next month and it will stay that way until further notice.
There were savings on subs and controllers here in the UK? I bought a controller yesterday in the sale..
It would be weird if those deals were not in other territories too?
Konami has announced that a Silent Hill Transmission will take place on Thursday, May 30, at 4pm PT/7pm ET that will reveal game updates, a "deeper look at the film," and new merch. Join us at IGN to find out what's next for this beloved franchise.
This looks terrible. Capcom should have done the remake 😂 The animations and gameplay looks stiff.
Okay. I was saying before in another article how SH2 looked better than the last trailer, which is true but damn this looks rough as hell.
I wanted RE4 / Dead Space remake quality
Cheat software provider EngineOwning will pay Call of Duty creator Activision nearly $15 million in damages and legal fees.
This is what developers and manufacturers should do. I know going after cheat devices/makers is a cat and mouse game, and cost money. However, they can get that money back by sueing these manufacturers of cheat devices. Take a page from Nintendo's playbook.
Reviews have been overwhelmingly positive as expected. Im just hyped to show off VR to my brother who has not seen VR before lool. Im going to record him. Just gotta find the perfect game to scare the crap out of him. He has a fear of hights. I think The Walk would be a good one to start him off with.
Man! I can't believe even PC mag says it's the best choice!! Screw loyalty, these guys have looked at the whole package and accepted that PSVR is VERY tough to beat. Let's hope for ALL VR, current and future, that it can succeed in bringing VR to the masses - certainly looks promising!
PSVR is getting great reviews just as we all expected. I can't wait until October 12th, 11 59 pm when i go to pickup my preorder. I have physical preorders for Rigs, Arkham, Driveclub, Loading Human, and Battlezone as well.
Despite all the positive reviews and buzz. I'm waiting for now.
Just not ready yet. I think I might not have enough space in my bedroom.
But that video from Digital Foundry the guy was sitting super close to his tv with the PSVR headset on.. I definitely don't sit that close to my tv.
https://www.youtube.com/wat... (around the 3:55 mark)
My tv is on a cabinet and I probably have about 3-4 feet of open space before you'd hit the edge of my bed/mattress.
in the PSVR FAQ from PS BLOG they recommend that you use the PSVR while "SEATED" but at the same time the diagram they show you for "recommended space" wants you to have a whole bunch of free space behind you as well.
the diagram shows a dude in a chair. https://www.flickr.com/phot...
so I mean I think I have enough space but I dunno. I mean they say stay seated. I currently sit on the floor between my tv and bed when I play games now.. So if I got the PSVR I would just scoot back and sit on the edge of my bed/mattress.
I mean I've played my friends Vive. like Tiltbrush, Audio Shield and Pirate Simulator. for those I did need space because I was like actually moving my feet and stuff. So in that regard I dunno if PSVR will be the same or different.
Either way I'm rambling on now. I'll probably wait until 2018 when the 2nd iteration of PSVR is introduced..
But I'm watching closely and following the news. I might pull the trigger sooner.
i want one so bad can't wait to start work
