Let's focus on the free games being offered on both services.
For several years now, both Sony and Microsoft have offered their console subscribers some "free" monthly games as part of their subscription services. Sony has had PlayStation Plus and Microsoft has had Games with Gold as part of Xbox Live Gold. Each service typically gives out roughly two to four titles every month that you are free to keep so long as you were subscribed when they were offered.
The question is: In the here and now, which service offers the best bang for the buck in terms of the monthly free games? Have you been a bigger fan of the monthly freebies from Sony or from Microsoft? Maybe you don't care about either one for whatever reason.
For a point of reference, here are the games that both services offered for the recent months: Games with Gold and PlayStation Plus.
Feel free to talk about your pick below. While the focus is mainly on the free monthly games, you can also talk about some of the other perks related to each service if you'd like.

That said, now that the PS model has been overhauled, and as a PS Premium subscriber, MS Game Pass is still much more attractive.
But just comparing the games offered with PSN and GwG I'd have to give it to PS Now, without question. The quality of titles offered on PS Now have been really good for at least the past year+ now compared to Gold. I get that MS wants to move everyone to Game Pass, but it comes across like they've just flat out given up on the games offered with Gold.
