The Load Out spent hours researching the PlayStation Store and calculating the total value of all the games added to PS Plus in 2023.
In 2023, Xbox Game Pass added 150 games worth $5,000, while Sony added 251 games in 2023 for a total value of $8,030.13 for PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium.
The cheapest PS Plus Essential adds $1479.63 worth of games ($1399.64 after deducting the $79.99 annual fee). Over the past year, Essential has made 37 games available to its users, which means that there are about 3 new games per month.
PS Plus Extra is the closest competitor to Xbox Game Pass, with 168 games added for $7,459.59 ($7,324.60 total after subscription fees). The number of games added to this tier exceeds the 150 games added by XGP in 2023, although it has a smaller selection of games overall.
The most expensive PS Plus Premium subscription subscribers can get an additional 46 games worth $570.54. With the addition of lower-end games, PS Plus Premium users get a total of 251 games, with a total value of $8,030.13 mentioned above. If you subtract the $159.99 Premium subscription for 12 months, the games are still worth a whopping $7,870.14, and there are over 250 games available to play.
