Xbox and Playstation have been going head to head in the gaming industry for a few decades now, yet there remains a cloud of doubt when it comes to deciding the winner of the everlasting console wars. While Sony has had the upper hand for the most part, the past few years have made it hard to believe that the studio will continue to have the advantage for long.
Debuting in 2017, Xbox Game Pass became a game changer for the gaming world, especially during the pandemic. However, it looks like Microsoft is on its way to jeopardizing its own greatest creation for the industry’s greater good.
Xbox Prime: A console rumored to finally beat PlayStation
Numbers don’t lie, and this phrase especially comes true when one compares the numbers of units sold between the latest generation of gaming consoles. It remains obvious thatPlayStationtakes the clear win when it comes to the hardware aspect of the industry.
Unfortunately, for Sony, as the world starts to adapt more to digital services like the Game Pass subscription, the future is starting to look brighter for Xbox instead, particularly for itsupcoming Xbox Prime console.
The 28 Rumored Titles Switch 2 Is Reportedly Getting Better Include the One Game Sony Is Gatekeeping Like a Rabid Mutt
Rumored to release in 2026 with a newCall of Dutytitle lined up at the same time, the Prime console can come with one feature that delivers the blue team the goosebumps of their life.And that is adding access to theSteamLibrary to your console. The rumors already dictate that the alleged upcoming console is likely to be a PC-Console hybrid, making integration with the user’s existing Steam library a possibility more than ever.
Why Xbox Game Pass gets hurt in the long run and why it’s okay
Many PC users depend on theGame Pass libraryto help them find new titles and experiment with new genres because of the easy convenience. Not only does Game Pass allow you to enjoy a game without any upfront cost, but its ever-growing library lets you play the latest titles, including last year’sCall of Duty: Black Ops 6.
“The exact reason for this jump is unclear”: Sudden Rise in PC Games Development Means Xbox Has Already Beaten Sony
However, granting access to the user’s Steam Library ultimately bites into the Game Pass audience, which essentially should be fine as long as users stay under Microsoft’s monopoly.The brighter side of the possible feature is how console players might finally be able to enjoy some PC-exclusive titles, including the likes ofCounter-Strike 2, or maybe evenLeague of Legends.
