All the article writer did was note these games come out the fifth and said they could then be free because that’s the same date as PS plus monthly games. The show comes out of he first only for certain pre orders. The writer used this as clickbait, pure and simple, which makes him stupid and he thinks we’re stupid to actually believe these games will be free.
These games have pre order bonuses and have been pre orders for a while at full price. Asking people to pay full retail price for pre order of a game and then giving that game away free at launch with no prior knowledge that it would be free is a lawsuit waiting to happen. No way any of this is real.
Didn't they have preorders for the Xbox last year before they announced it would be on Gamepass?
Yes. I bought it. Didn’t bother with the refund since I game share with my brother. I find it crazy Sony doesn’t have it on there service. Not fair to dedicated fans.

Stupid enough to keep people talking about his article in the official forum of the game plus OS plus I assume reddit as well. And now it’s in our browser history so it comes up as suggested link when we start typing stuff into the address bar.
But yeah I agree with you, it’s total clickbait. The usual PS Plus monthly games predictions.

Likely a clickbait con job. I wouldn’t even click the link. I don’t intend to.

So, if this is in fact true and you preorder; you're paying $100 for a handful of free cards, 25K in stubs, and 4 extra days to play?
Heck, it may be better to get the game for free and buy stubs.
It depends on how much you value those 4 days, because it is definitely better to get game for free and buy stubs otherwise.
The game will be unplayable for the first week or so, paying to enjoy that 4 days earlier is not something I’m interested in doing, thankfully I have game-pass so it comes with my subscription.
That's my favorite time to play. Yes h2h will be a mess, but I will have no interest in h2h the first week with plenty of content and grinding to stay busy.

Won’t happen. Those predict ps plus articles are always wrong.

This article from IGN may be worth a read.
https://www.ign.com/articles/ps5-spartacus-reveal-next-week-xbox-game-passFrom the article:
PlayStation could unveil its upcoming subscription service as early as next week. Bloomberg reports that PlayStation’s Xbox Game Pass competitor will get a proper unveiling soon. The site previously reported that PlayStation was working on a similar service under the codename “Spartacus. Sources say PlayStation will have a “splashy lineup of hit games,” and will officially merge PlayStation Plus with PlayStation Now, Sony’s cloud streaming service.I still have my doubts about 22 being a Playstation Plus game at launch, but if they wanted to push subscriptions for this new merged service (possibly the higher tier), then the timing might line up pretty nicely.

I've seen that article, but I don't think they will actually release this service until the holidays. Companies don't usually release something within days of it being announced

This already happened last year. There are definitely people that pre ordered on Xbox only to have it come out on game pass. There is also a ton of people who owned both systems and had no knowledge of it being free on xbox shortly after release. Honestly for years the pre orders have been pretty weird, sometimes even giving rewards for last years games even though people might not own it. Regardless at the end of the day Sony is getting Sony users to pay for a game that is free for Microsoft users on a superior system. Par for the course from this PR team. Diehard baseball fans choose Sony for this game and Xbox users just get it all for free.

Xbox Game Pass has first party games day and date, and they don't come off. Sony would definitely not do that, which I believe is what they are referring to in the article. I could see them putting some of their more niche games up day and date, and then they would take them down at some point. Granted this game kinda sucked, but they gave away Destruction All-Stars at launch and that was a console exclusive.
Many feel like having The Show on Game Pass and not PSNow was a bad look. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up on this new service to get more eyes on it. They may have held back on this announcement (as opposed to Game Pass) because they weren't ready to actually reveal the service to the public.
Dragon could certainly be right about the actual launch coming months later from the announcement, which would make all of this speculation a moo point, or a cows opinion.

Gotcha. I would be pretty disappointed in SDS if it turns out they took pre-orders on a game that they knew would be available (essentially) for free. Oh well, either way I'm starting to get stoked for some new MLBTS!

MLB The Show being on Game Pass the last two years was not Sony’s idea. MLB threw a ton of cash their way to make it happen to get more people playing videogame baseball. Sony likes making money and having the game on both subscription services is not a smart business decision. Sure they have a revenue stream from selling stubs, but in no way is it anything close to what games like Fortnite rake in that allows those games to be F2P. The fact that there are this many replies in a thread based on a clickbait article some idiot that has no clue about anything wrote is mind-numbing.

Well it’s official. MLB the Show 22 will not be free for PS Plus members for April.

Not a surprise. What is a surprise is that it is a pretty bad month, at least in my opinion. I really enjoy Slay the Spire but i have already played it quite a bit on PC.
