After being immersed in nerd culture for many years, Derek is now happy to write about the media he enjoys instead of just ranting to his friends.

He is a fan of science fiction and fantasy, video game and tabletop RPGs, classic Hong Kong action movies, and graphic novels. Derek majored in journalism and worked for a print newspaper before discovering the internet. When he is not writing, playing video games, watching movies or television, or reading novels or comic books, he occasionally takes some time to sleep. He lives with his wife, three dogs, and a likely excessive number of video game consoles. If Sony were to create a proper PlayStation Plus app for Android and iOS devices and make save syncing as seamless as Game Pass, the two services would truly have more parity.ĭerek Garcia is a Game Feature Writer for ScreenRant. Some of the titles on PS Plus Extra are PlayStation exclusives, like the Demon’s Souls remake or Returnal, which gives it a unique appeal since most Game Pass games are also available on PC. Newer games are in the roughest shape they ever will be, frequently requiring patches for basic functionality. While some see Game Pass as having the edge over PS Plus based on day-one releases, this amounts to less than the sheer convenience of Game Pass. The absence of a dedicated PS Plus streaming app for mobile is perplexing, and the quality of PS Plus PC streaming leaves much to be desired compared to Game Pass. PS Plus Premium needs more Sony classics, but just as crucially it needs to make streaming more convenient for it to truly add value to the subscription. Game Pass allows a subscriber to seamlessly continue the same game across mobile streaming, PC, and console. Even an improvement as simple as automatic save data syncing would make it easier for players who stream PS Plus on a laptop and then resume the same game on their home consoles.
