No Xbox Game Pass-like service on PlayStation as of yet PS Plus vs. Xbox Live Gold: The big debate Source: Razer A few years ago, the debate between PlayStation Plus and Xbox Live Gold might have been raging on across the internet. In 2021, though, the two services are nearly identical in what they offer to players. Both services are vital if you play a ton of online games on either the PlayStation or Xbox side, and both give out free games, discounts, and cloud storage to players who subscribe. For that reason, one is not definitively better than the other. However, Xbox Live Gold does offer something that PlayStation Plus doesn't, and that's a pathway into the best service in gaming.
