I see. Didn’t know about that.

A couple of thoughts on your last sentence: it is a bit weird that PS doesn’t offer free cloud saves. I am very much a PS advocate, but even I have to give Xbox the edge there.

Also, last week I wanted to back up a PS5 save from ONE game to USB. Apparently you can’t do that. You have to back up the saves from all your games, and you can only use those backed up saves if you restore the console to factory settings. Pretty stupid.

I don’t even know why people recommend Game Pass, but, without reading the comments, I’m quite certain several people are going to recommend it to you.

The truth is, PlayStation Plus Premium is cheaper than Game Pass Ultimate, has significantly more games (like 700 to 100 or something) and includes some great PS exclusives.

I personally believe in buying the games one wants to play, but so many people like to use Game Pass as the major selling point for Xbox (tells you something about the rest of the platform). So in case that’s part of your consideration process, I thought you should know the facts, which most people like to omit.

If the subscription services don’t matter to you, then I’d say make a decision based on your preference of exclusive games and controllers. You may really like one console’s controller and really dislike another’s.

I probably don’t need to point out which console has the decided advantage in exclusive titles, so I won’t.

Roughly PS5 99.3% - Xbox .6% - PC and Switch the rest
