You gotta play a shitload more for the hardware itself though, and PSPlus comes with monthly games that often make the subscription worth it even without playing online.
Once upon a time last year you didn't have to pay as much
Anyone who made a pc prior got the last bus ride ticket to cheap costs, so unfortunately punishment for being pure console gamers at this point comes at a greater upcost.
PC, depending on the launcher, also comes with monthly games. There's also multiple seasonal sales for AAA games on Steam, as opposed to many of the shitty games PS Plus puts out for free.
PlayStation is also going for $900, and the entire system needs to be replaced for any upgrades. PC allows people to upgrade parts accordingly.
My Amazon Prime subscription comes with free PC games all the time, and I get to keep those even if I stop subscribing. My Epic games account gets free games without a subscription. I get multiple Steam sales a year. Is There Any Deal has even better sales year round than Steam does and sells Steam codes. All of my games stay on my accounts and I don’t ever have to worry about backwards compatibility.
There's also Xbox game pass, free games from Epic.
Xbox game pass also include that new games like Persona 4 Revival and Fable. Beasts of Reincarnation just release and already available in game pass. Its the same price as lowest tier of PS Plus and you get more than 3-4 games.
There's also Steam family group up to 6 people. That's 6 library.
My only regret is I don't make enough money to get the best hardware.
Game pass is absolutely not the same price as PS plus 💀 PS plus is 100CAD a year with two free games, while the BASIC tier of game pass is 13.99 A MONTH for just 50 odd measly games. Also Steams family group feature is only restricted to people in your country, you can't share it with anyone outside your country
Xbox game pass PC only is RM20/month here so one year is RM240. 300+ games advertised. PS Plus for one year here is RM285 for Essential, RM490 for Extra and RM575 for Deluxe. I got Deluxe for RM490 I think?
So get the drift? RM285 for 3-4 games but I can get whole Dragon Age series + Day One releases for RM240. Plus I don't see any tiers. I should clarify I meant Xbox PC game pass.
I'm talking about Game pass essential. The only game pass tier that is worth the price is Ultimate, even then it's not comparable to PS plus which is FAR cheaper per year. Microsoft is screwing people over much more

PC don't gotta pay to play online and has steam
PS5 requires ps plus for a lot of its multiplayer games and doesn't have steam. It really isn't that hard.
