Every Game Available On PlayStation Plus Collection At Launch

Important days lay ahead for Sony. As a returning participant in next-gen gaming with the PlayStation 5, the company, like Microsoft, is doing everything it can to not only keep hold of its loyal install base, but increase that millions-strong figure even further. It's no secret, of course, that the former has been the runaway winner this gen with the PS4, thanks largely to one of the strongest first-party lineups of any console to date.

Microsoft, on the other hand, has been forced to play catch-up from the start with the Xbox One brand, predominantly due to then-Xbox boss Don Mattrick mandating a strict set of deeply anti-consumerist restrictions for the hardware. There’s still a ways to go until the two are on an even keel once again, then, though under Mattrick’s replacement, Phil Spencer, Microsoft has pioneered a number of industry-leading initiatives, including Game Pass.

Xbox Series X may be lacking a system seller (Halo Infinite has been delayed until 2021 at the earliest), but Game Pass is a near irresistible proposition that Sony knows it needs to address, and soon.

PlayStation Plus Collection isn’t quite the competitor it needs to be just yet, but for a fledgling service intended to be expanded upon in the months and years ahead, PlayStation owners couldn’t have hoped for a better start. 20 games, from both first and third-party developers, will be available on day one of the PS5’s launch, with all existing PS Plus subscriptions gaining access to the following at no additional price.

  • Bloodborne
