The PS Plus service has hijacked one of the main features of Game Pass.

Game Pass has always been superior to other monthly subscription services, especially the PS Plus service, which Sony recently revamped. The main and only thing that sets the Xbox service apart is the fact that it offers games from day one. It seems that's what Sony will look to implement, and in part, with its relaunched service.

Recently, a new sign was seen on the games released on the PS Plus service, which indicates that the game is available from the first day of its launch on the service.

Recently, Sony managed to release 3 different games from day one on its monthly service. It all started with Shadow Warrior 3, followed by Stray and finally Divine Knockout, which will be among the PlayStation Plus games in December.

This could be a bold move for Sony to start spending some money to bring some day-one titles to the PS Plus service. While these titles aren't big and from independent developers, there are high hopes from the community that Sony will expand the circle of day-one titles to include big games and perhaps even first-party titles in the future.

Of course, this doesn't make Sony's monthly service fully competitive with Game Pass, but it does close the gap, if only a little, and is an extension of the previous step by which Sony introduced three new Plus tiers with monthly library updates similar to Microsoft's monthly service.

It seems Sony wants to approach Game Pass competition gradually and cautiously, as the company is moving in a direction long criticized by PlayStation's leadership by offering its big games from day one of its monthly service.

Sony's position on releasing its games on the PS Plus service on day one is very clear. Where the company has confirmed on several occasions that games like Stray are an anomaly and that releasing first-party AAA games on the monthly subscription service is not compatible with its policy and plans.

Earlier this year, the company's CEO said Jim RyanSony can't afford to lose like Microsoft does with Game Pass, and the inability to recoup the investment will ultimately diminish the quality of first-party games.

However, Ryan explained that this decision is appropriate for the current moment, and circumstances and data may change in the future, and the company's decision at that time will be appropriate to what the need demands, as long as the quality of its games is maintained.
