PlayStation says it would need to reduce the budgets and quality of its games to put them on PlayStation Plus on day one.
✖ PlayStation believes it would need to reduce the quality and budgets in order to release AAA exclusives on its tiered PlayStation Plus service. Xbox Game Pass has been a major game-changer for the industry in recent years. The subscription service gives players access to hundreds of games at no extra cost and automatically allows users to play Xbox exclusives like Halo, Starfield, and many more on day one without outright purchasing the game.
Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki stated that he believes PlayStation would have to reduce its investment in AAA games in order to justify offering them as day one titles on PlayStation Plus. Totoki notes that he believes this would also"deteriorate" the quality of PlayStation's first party offerings, something the brand prides itself on. Former PlayStation executive Shawn Layden responded in agreement to a tweet with the quote.
"I will refrain from making comments on the competitors' strategy," said Totoki."Our current thinking is to have development costs/appropriate R&D investment for quality products and that will improve the platform and also improve the business in the long run. AAA type titles on PS5, if we distribute that on the subscription services we may need to shrink the investment needed for that and that will deteriorate the 1st party title quality and that is our concern.
With that said, unless the cost of game development significantly changes, PlayStation users probably shouldn't expect day one titles on a service like PlayStation Plus. Xbox has been coy with its Xbox Game Pass stats, so it's hard to tell how worth it has been for them on a financial level, but the company has continued to expand on the service.
