Again, both services are pretty much on par, but Games with Gold has a bit of an edge over PS Plus in terms of being more pro-consumer. Unlike with PS Plus, where letting your subscription lapse means that you can no longer access your library of free PS Plus games, Games with Gold grants you actual ownership over the games you download, meaning that you can keep them even if you are no longer an Xbox Live subscriber. While PS Plus does offer more games each month - six in total: two PS4, two PS3, and two PS Vita titles versus two Xbox One and two Xbox 360 games - Games with Gold offers one advantage that people often overlook. Both services have had their share of strong and weak lineups over the years, meaning that if Xbox’s Games with Gold doesn’t have anything you particularly want in say, September, there’s a good chance that October will be the exact opposite and deliver something stellar.

Sony and Microsoft both offer free monthly games as part of their respective PS Plus and Xbox Live online services, so you’re not really losing out on anything by opting for one service over the other besides the specific games being offered each month. Of course, we’ll have to wait until the Xbox One X has been fully tested in the wild to get a full read on its overall value but in terms of technical capabilities, the Xbox One X has the PS4 Pro soundly beat. The other major advantage - and this applies to the Xbox One S as well - is that Xbox supports UHD Blu-ray playback and Dolby Atmos, whereas the PS4 Pro does not. Speaking of optimized games, while the Xbox One may not have as many must-have games in general as the PS4, the fact that Microsoft is offering backwards compatibility (as in, games that have been updated for higher performance on the X) for 300 titles to start with is an improvement over Sony’s haphazard approach to PS4 Pro patches. However, across the board, the Xbox One X is the more powerful console, offering native 4K visuals and an overall performance boost on all Xbox One software, even for games that have not been optimized for the X. Sony updated their PS4 line in 2016 with the release of the PS4 Pro, a more powerful console that bumped up performance and offered 4K visuals.

The most clear advantage of purchasing an Xbox One over a PS4 right now is that Microsoft has the most powerful console on the market.
