More day one releases, then, could certainly grant PS Now more leverage among its competition, especially if it's offering day one launches that you won't find anywhere else. As such, we feel as if Sony should be less anxious about putting PS5 games onto PS Now, as it would certainly make the service look more appealing in the long run. That's in stark contrast to Xbox Game Pass which, as of August 2021, has 62 Xbox Series X/S enhanced games, many of which aren't even first party Microsoft Game Studios games. Either way, it means that PS Now still doesn't have any PS5 games to its name. You will get those enhancements on PS5, but it certainly isn't a native PS5 title. While Shadow Warrior 3 is a PS4 game first, it will also have some enhancements for those playing on PS5, such as an improved framerate and a higher resolution.

That's especially so when you take into account additional features available through the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate tier, which include access to Xbox Cloud Gaming and PC Game Pass.

We're likely never going to see Sony's AAA first-party efforts come to PS Now on day one, so it needs other areas to which it can compete with Xbox Game Pass. And that's something PS Now could certainly use.
