Sony has announced that games such as Death Stranding, God of War, Marvel’s Spider-Man, Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Mortal Kombat 11, and Returnal will be included in the launch lineup. However, this subscription service will not make Sony’s next exclusive PlayStation titles available on launch day, making it less of an Xbox Game Pass competition.
