whose free games were better? – review addiction

Portal Polygon reviewed free games again Playstation plus and Xbox Live Goldthat subscribers received during the year.

An important change took place in the Sony service in March: projects for the PS3 and PS Vita left the collections, with which the total number of titles was reduced from six to two. However, according to the site, this was beneficial – they began to distribute better games by subscription.

PS Plus

For the year, subscribers received 32 games, with an average score of 77.6 points on Metacritic. This is 8.1 points more than in 2018, but due to a decrease in the number of projects, the overall “value” has also fallen.
