PlayStation "will respond to Xbox Game Pass," says the father of God of War

Sony Interactive Entertainment would be working on "A counter move" di PlayStation to the popular service Xbox Game Pass di Microsoft. This is what the former senior developer and creator of God of War David Jaffe, who says he spoke to a number of sources inside Sony about the company's plans, which would aim to respond to the popularity of Microsoft's subscription service.

There are actually news on the way, but not today. We have PlayStation Now, our subscription service, available in numerous markets. I have said several times that the people who are writing Jim Ryan's obituary are very premature. Yesterday there was the guy on the show who petitioned to fire Jim Ryan and I was like, 'man, that's so premature' because Jim Ryan doesn't owe anyone, Sony doesn't owe anyone, the truth about what's to come. and what their response to Game Pass is.

What I can tell you is that I know they are doing things because I know people at Sony who have told me they are doing things. There will be a response to Game Pass. Here is one thing I would worry about instead. If Jim Ryan thinks the correct answer to Game Pass is to emulate backward compatibility, you play for PS3, PS2, PS1 and then add trophies as well, which is what the patent suggests they will do, he is absolutely wrong if he thinks mixing it with PS Now [ be the way to go].

Game Pass was launched in June 2017 and has become central to Microsoft's business, attracting beyond 18 millions of subscribers starting January 2021. Gives Xbox and PC players access to over 100 titles, including all first-party games at launch, with an increasing number also available on devices Android via the cloud. Sony would therefore like to relaunch with a service that would allow PlayStation to reach the Xbox Game Pass.
