PlayStation needs to launch a rival to Xbox Game Pass - and fast

Once you buy a gaming console, you know that is not a one-off investment.

In the era of Netflix allowing you to access the latest blockbuster at the touch of a button, on-demand choice is no longer a flight of fancy, it is now what consumers expect.The Xbox Game Pass offers players a revolving door of first-party and third-party titles, from the latest triple-AAA titles, or owing to Xbox's focus on backwards compatibility, players can check out the 'Gears Of War' franchise.

PlayStation Now faces a problem in comparison to Game Pass however: when users avail of a game on the service, it is streamed to the console which of course requires a strong internet connection. In action-heavy games like 2016's 'Doom' where precise and quick timing is key, any latency issues are detrimental to the experience.
