A few things from my chat with Jim Ryan. If Sony put its first-party games into the service day and date, he says it would increase the cost of the service and result in less investment for its studios

No Day-1 on Sony's Game Pass Competitor means it's not exactly a competitor...not a bad service but not really the same thing imo
