If anything, the new PlayStation Plus is better thought of as a simpler way to get the old PlayStation Now subscription service (which will soon be retired) to more people. However, that comparison falls apart fairly quickly once you take a deeper look at both subscription services. While we’re still waiting for additional information regarding some of the finer details of that program (including its exact release date beyond a vague “June” window), many are already calling it PlayStation’s long-awaited answer to Xbox Game Pass. Keep in mind that Microsoft caps the maximum Ultimate duration that can be converted from other plans at 36 months.The PlayStation team recently confirmed months’ worth of rumors by revealing their revamped PlayStation Plus subscription program. A month of EA Play, meanwhile, will only get you 10 days of Ultimate. Microsoft explains on its Xbox FAQ website that one month of Xbox Live Gold converts to 20 days of Ultimate, as does a single month of Xbox Game Pass (console and PC). Gamers who have already bought Xbox Live Gold, EA Play, and/or Xbox Game Pass can redeem those codes and have them converted to specific durations of Ultimate, though it's not a 1:1 conversion. Under a promotional offer, Microsoft allows subscribers to convert their existing Xbox Live Gold membership into Ultimate for $1 initially, after which point it will revert to the regular $14.99 per month rate.
With that said, Xbox owners have access to some perks of their own.
In comparison, Microsoft does not offer an annual pricing option for its subscription service. While that's not a huge discount compared to paying monthly, the real savings start with the $119.99 annual subscription plan, which brings Premium's monthly rate down to about $10 per month that's the same you'd pay for the Essential plan on a monthly basis, and less than the monthly price for Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
