The Morning After: PlayStation vs. Xbox in 2024
It’s been four years since the latest console generation hit the shelves, and it’s clear that Sony has maintained its lead over Microsoft. We revisited the PlayStation 5 (in its slim iteration) and the Xbox Series X to see how their approaches have fared.
As expected, Microsoft’s Xbox Series X remains a solid choice for playing Microsoft titles, popular third-party games, and everything available on Game Pass. However, if you had to choose between buying the Series X or PlayStation 5, the latter offers better exclusive games, a larger base of gamers, and a superior controller.
The Last of Us Part 2 Remastered, God of War Ragnarok, Spider-Man 2, and Astro Bot have all been platform exclusives on the Sony side, while long-running series like Final Fantasy appear first on PlayStation consoles. The strongest weapon in Xbox’s arsenal, Game Pass, has been neutered over time too. The Game Pass Ultimate plan now costs $20 per month, offering day-one access to new titles and a massive library of games for Xbox and PC. The new $15 per month Standard plan does not grant day-one access but includes hundreds of games.
