The Winner Is…
Rarely do we see such a wide disparity between the two sets of free games, as evidenced by how close August was. Gone Home was a great selection from Microsoft’s Xbox Live Games with Gold program, but it can’t stand up to the force of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. This one game swings the whole comparison in PS Plus’ favor and hands them the victory before we even dive deeper into the games being offered for October 2017.
Now, when we do that we still have to hand it to PS Plus for offering some solid games. Amnesia and Hue are particular standouts, but overall players will find something to love in this set of games. Which is good, since MGSV sold so well that few players will actually get to benefit from this giveaway.
Xbox Live Games with Gold isn’t full of trash though, and Xbox gamers have a lot to be excited for here, just maybe not as much as their Sony loving rivals. It’s nice to have such an easy one to judge, as I skipped September while I dealt with windy death bearing down on me. I survived though, so hopefully you enjoyed PlayStation Plus vs. Xbox Live Games with Gold for October 2017. See you in November.
