Xbox fans show utter disappointment with the choice of free games as compared to PlayStation

The inevitable fan war between PlayStation and Xbox has been going on which does give some fruitful benefits to the video gaming community. A few days back, PlayStation released the monthly games that will be included in PlayStation Plus for January. As per the blog, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Fallout 76, and Axiom Verge 2 will be available from January 3, 2023.

This certified that the subscribers of the PlayStation Plus membership will get two AAA titles accompanied by an indie title. On the other hand, Xbox mentioned Iris Fall and Autonauts as free under the Games with Gold program. Thereby, no AAA titles were mentioned along with the two indie titles.
