Have you ever wondered just how much bang for your buck you get with Sony’s PlayStation Plus service?
Thankfully the answer’s forthcoming as U.K.-based PlayStation website Push Square has collated the painstaking data and delivered the definitive verdict on just how much value PlayStation gamers actually squeeze out of the online-centric service.
For the listed $50 annual entrance fee, gamers can jump on a return of just over $1,300 worth of gaming goodness, (tallied from all the game’s listed PSN prices) ranging from PS Vita titles to platform-exclusive Indie games on PS4. And with this month’s listing being a fully-fledged PS4 retail title in Injustice: Gods Among Us there’s hope that the New Year will bring more blockbuster releases PlayStation Plus’ way.
Gamers of a more cynical disposition may write off PlayStation Plus’ offerings as by-and-large hogwash but the keen-eyed folk over at Push Square also ran the numbers through review aggregator Metacritic and results were a tad surprising, with the majority of gaming months sitting at roughly 80 percent.
Granted, gamers may not own all the PlayStation formats catered for by Sony’s now-ubiquitous service but there’s little denying the value that it proves to have, both monetarily and in raw gaming horsepower.
For fans of statistical crunching, the website’s also provided a region-by-region and month-by-month breakdown so you can see just how well your particular PlayStation region faired.
One thing’s for sure: the service hasn’t been kind to many gamers’ back catalogues, with the majority of PlayStation Universe’s fit to burst.
