Let’s compare how all three services provide value to players. The lineup for PlayStation Plus is about to expand, but not exactly in the way that Game Pass provides players content. The most important thing for all of these services, of course, are the games that they provide access to.
Nintendo Switch Online focuses on providing access to classic games, rather than new ones.
Xbox Game Pass (choose PC/console) - $9.99/month, $119.99/year. Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is the second tier and lets you play on console, PC, and mobile, both through download and the cloud. The basic $9.99 tier can be chosen for either console or PC and gets you access to the Game Pass catalog, as well as deals and discounts. Xbox Game Pass was the premier subscription service for years, and there are currently two different tiers. PlayStation Plus Essential - $9.99/month, $59.99/year. There will also be free game trials with Premium, although it’s not clear at the moment if those trials will apply to new releases or older ones. The second, PlayStation Plus Premium, then goes even further and adds on streaming options for the previous catalog, as well as games from previous generations. 
The next two tiers cost $14.99 and $17.99 a month respectively and the first, PlayStation Plus Extra, adds on a catalog of nearly 500 downloadable PS4 and PS5 games. For $9.99 a month, or $59.99 yearly, you can get access to online play, monthly free games, discounts, and cloud storage. PS Plus now has three different tier options, with the basic option mirroring the current PS Plus subscription.
Nintendo Switch Online+Expanion Pass - $49.99/year. Nintendo Switch Online - $3.99/month, $19.99/year. Of course, there’s also the Online+Expansion Pack option, which costs $49.99 for 12 months and adds on free access to N64 and Sega Genesis classics, as well as access to expansions for certain games. Nintendo Switch Online is the cheapest of all three options, with a basic membership costing only $3.99 a month or $19.99 for 12 months. PS Plus now has three different pricing options scaling from $9.99 to $17.99.
