If you are thinking of gifting someone a gaming subscription, consider options like Nintendo Switch Online, PlayStation Plus, or Xbox Game Pass. For $17/month, Xbox Game Pass offers access to over 100 games for Xbox or PC, with the option to stream to phones and tablets. It also includes EA Play and allows access to first-party Xbox Game Studios titles on the day they are released. Sony’s revamped PlayStation Plus now offers online play, cloud storage, and two free monthly games, along with a catalog of games that can be streamed or downloaded with a subscription. The middle tier at $135/year is a good option, providing access to around 400 PS4 and PS5 games. For Nintendo Switch Online, the basic plan at $20/year unlocks online play, Game Boy, NES, and Super NES games, as well as cloud backups. The $50 “expansion pack” adds N64, Game Boy Advance, and Sega Genesis games, along with some DLC for popular games.
