Sony not initially offering PlayStation Studios day-one exclusives on PS Plus

Sony recently announced plans to release a new version of the PlayStation Plus program to allow players to download a backlog of games. The subscription-based program is absorbing the PS Now platform and seems to be Sony’s version of Game Pass.

While it may be similar to Xbox’s Game Pass in many ways, PS Plus will be missing one feature: day-one exclusives. In a recent interview with Gameindustry.biz, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan discussed how the investment “delivers success.” He described it as a cycle with studios that repeatedly allows PlayStation to provide quality games. Gamers like that repeated process, so he feels no need to change it.
