In the battle for value, Sony might have just figured out how to get a leg-up when it comes to subscription services.

Kicking off or ending this Thursday's Xbox Series X showcase with an announcement regarding a massive overhaul of Xbox Live? That could be a serious showstopper.

Ubisoft has announced that you can groove the fat away, provided that you own Just Dance 2020. Ubisoft says that owners can grab a free month of Just Dance Unlimited on Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch and Google Stadia, shaking your butt to the tune of of more than 500 Just Dance songs from past games.

Nintendo is going to be charging a bit more for the privilege of premium cloud storage, transfers and mobile perks with Pokémon Home.

Users over on Reddit have started airing their frustrations towards Googles’ cloud gaming service and it’s more than a little sad.

So what’s happening now in the post-apocalypse online survival game that is Fallout 76? With fans miffed at the news of NPCs being delayed to 2020, Bethesda decided to add something else to the mix: Premium subscriptions! Yes sir, for a fistful of dollars you can join Fallout 1st.

It may be playable on just about any screen in several pre-selected countries, but Google Stadia will need some mighty fine bait if it wants to hook a few new converts to their way of thinking. A few free trials of Stadia, might be the perfect lure.

EA Access, the company’s subscription service allowing players to download from a vault of EA games has finally launched on the PlayStation 4. Originally an Xbox One exclusive that eventually found its way to PC, EA Access lets players pay a set monthly or annual fee (that’s R48.50 per month, or R299 annually) to download and play many of EA’s games. It’s now available on PlayStation 4 at the same price as it is on other platforms – and it kinda sucks.
