Many ask about the possibility of popular games like God of War Ragnarok , Spider-Man 2 and The Last of Us being made available for free on PS Plus Extra and Deluxe . However, apparently it is not that simple. Apparently, according to a leaked report, the inclusion of AAA exclusive games on PS Plus resulted in a drop in sales. For example, sales of Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West dropped significantly after being included in PS Plus. There is resistance from Sony 's internal studios , such as Insomniac Games , to making their games available on PS Plus Extra and Deluxe.
This is due to fears that including the games in PS Plus could result in significant financial losses. Apparently, Insomniac Games fought to not include the game Ratchet & Clank In Another Dimension in the service, due to this fear. After all, it is a big investment in the production of Costa Rica Mobile Number List these games. And if their inclusion in the Plus Extra or Deluxe catalog means that sales are interrupted, this means financial loss for the company. The withdrawal of Marvel's Spider-Man from PS Plus Extra is apparently also the result of this discussion. Apparently, the game was removed from the catalog precisely so that the game could generate sales again. And if the situation really is like this, it is cause for concern. Because if this drop in sales continues, it could result in a reduction in the quality of games, if all titles are included in subscription services. Because without profits proportional to the amounts invested in games, budget cuts tend to occur, resulting in games with lower quality.
It is also important to draw a parallel to Xbox and its Game Pass . One of the biggest criticisms of the Xbox Series is the small amount of exclusives. Microsoft clearly focused its efforts in this generation of consoles on purchasing other studios and including games in the Game Pass catalog. On the one hand, this is good because it allows more players to have access to games at launch. On the other hand, by focusing on this, Microsoft gave up producing, for example, new games from established franchises such as Halo and Gears of War, which to date do not have any exclusive games for the current generation. Additionally, its perhaps biggest recent major release was Starfield , which had been in production since before Microsoft acquired Bethesda .
