Plus, no monthly fees for online play on PC.

That depends on the game you’re playing, not the platform, right?

Right?

Nah, you need to pay a monthly sub to play online with every console

[–] samus12345 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't need a sub to play F2P games online on PS, at least.

Meanwhile, on Xbox, you need Game Pass to play Final Fantasy 14, on top of the subscription to the game itself.

No not every game, there are a lot of online F2P games or games that have their own sub to play on PS5 that don't require PS+.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nope. You need Playstation Plus or Xbox Game Pass Core for online play on their respective platforms. And they charge subscription fees for that.

You mean like WoW?

Who still plays WoW though?

That's why I only get sp games that are exclusive to Playstation with mine. I mean technically Bloodborne and Demon's Souls have multiplayer but I'm totally fine not seeing bloodstains and messages that say "try jumping" everywhere or having some rando invade me.

At the same time, most of those exclusives are PS4 games so unless you really want the 5 or 6 games that are only on PS5, you could save money and get a PS4.

Same for me, but it's just GT7. Really wish Sony would port it to pc.

You can rent and sell games. I save literally $2000 USD a year renting games vs purchasing.
