Playing PlayStation Plus on a laptop appears to be a possibility following the latest State of Play update.
In the ever-evolving world of gaming, speculation abounds about the potential expansion of PlayStation's subscription service, PlayStation Plus, to gaming laptops. If this were to happen, it could follow the model of many laptop deals that include an Xbox Game Pass subscription.
The idea of PlayStation making gaming more accessible by offering a subscription to PlayStation Plus on the best gaming laptops is a welcome prospect for many gamers. This move could potentially increase revenue and customer base, especially considering the growing popularity of gaming on laptops.
Xbox Game Pass, a subscription service offered by Microsoft, is already accessible on various devices including desktop, laptop, tablet, and mobile. Recently, day-one releases of games like "Avowed" and "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" have been added to the service, further enhancing its appeal.
However, Xbox has monopolized the game subscription model for PC and mobile devices. A recent price increase from $15 to $20 per month has not been met with universal approval. Some argue that unless Xbox faces strong competition, the price may increase again in the future.
Sony, on the other hand, could potentially create an app for PC to make its PlayStation Plus library of games more accessible. If PlayStation were to push its exclusives on PC via this app, especially on day one, it could fill pockets and make fans happy.
Sony is already taking steps to bring PlayStation exclusives to PC within a year or so. Games like "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage", created by the makers of "Life Is Strange", will be day-one releases on PlayStation Plus. If the day-one launch for "Lost Records: Bloom & Rage" goes well, more games may come to PlayStation Plus on day one.
It's important to note that while there isn’t a standalone PlayStation Plus app for gaming laptops, PC users with PlayStation Plus Premium can stream games from the service via cloud gaming. This service requires an internet connection and is accessed through streaming rather than a native PC application.
The existing PlayStation App is primarily designed for mobile devices to manage friends, chat, shop, and control PlayStation consoles remotely, not for full game play on laptops.
In conclusion, while there is no official announcement about PlayStation Plus becoming available as a dedicated app for gaming laptops, the idea of increased accessibility and potential revenue streams is an exciting prospect for many gamers. The author encourages PlayStation to give laptop users more attention, promising to still buy the PS6. Competition and accessibility are indeed beneficial for the gaming industry, and this potential move by PlayStation could shake up the market in a positive way.
