Yea, I intentionally restricted my post to the base tiers as gamepass has a similar schema since they both show similar featuresets at higher tiers.

I made a basic breakdown:

  1. Basic
    • ps essentials: 11$/m
      • multiplayer
      • shareplay
      • save backups
      • discounts on store
      • monthly games selection valid for duration of subscription
    • gamepass essential: 10$/m
      • multiplayer
      • free game catalog: 123 [81 of which supported on Windows as well]
      • cloud gaming: 87
      • in game benefits in select first party games
      • rewards program
  2. Mid Tier
    • PS Extra: 15$/m
      • previous tier
      • free game catalog: 409
      • ubisoft classics program
    • Gamepass Premium: 15$/m
      • previous tier
      • free game catalog: 572 [395 of which is supported on windows]
      • cloud gaming: 412
      • First party games promised to be on game catalog within 1 year of release (Call of Duty Excluded)
      • semi-priority cloud play queue
      • 2x reward points
  3. Best Tier
    • PS Premium: 18$/m
      • previous tier
      • classics catalog: 163
      • game trial catalog: 260
      • sony pictures catalog (a movie/media streaming service)
      • cloud streaming
    • Gamepass Ultimate: 23$/m
      • previous tier
      • free game catalog: 909 [587 of which are supported on windows]
      • cloud gaming: 555
      • day 1 first party releases on free game catalog (Call of Duty excluded)
      • Free EA Play: 182 games + select DLC
      • ubisoft classics: 120
      • fortnite crew
      • priority cloud gaming
      • 4x reward points

This was just a somewhat quick list of info found online when comparing the two. I can see each tier being useful to someone, but I personally find that Sonys offerings for PS+ don’t stack to Gamepass, and that’s from someone who has been loyal sony fan since the PS1.
