In recent years, many subscription services such as Netflix, Spotify or PS Plus have become increasingly expensive, which is why many want to be more conscious about the monthly costs. Services have also become more and more common in gaming, which is why I calculated for you how much it would cost if you really wanted to have every subscription at the same time.
This is how much all gaming subscriptions cost together per month
If you subscribe to all gaming subscriptions (apart from services directly in games) at the same time at the cheapest conditions with the RRP prices, then you paymonthly 206,62 Euro.
However, since annual subscriptions are also included in the price, the number may seem lower than initially thought. Overall, this is what you end up witha whole year 2,370.87 euros. This means you'll save just under 109 euros a year if you use an annual subscription instead of individual subscriptions to all services.
Ohne Streaming-Services: If you take out the pure streaming services again, of which most people only use one or two at the same time, then it becomes even cheaper. This is how you pay per month98,84 Euroand in the year1.186,46 Euro.
This is how I calculated the gaming subscriptions
To get to the amount above, I looked at a whole range of gaming subscriptions. In addition to the typical services from the individual consoles, I also included smaller subscriptions such as Antstream, GTA+ and more.
In addition, the highest level was always taken for each subscription and in the end the one that gives you the best monthly price without any offers. For example, with Game Pass Ultimate I take the annual subscription, even though an annual subscription to Game Pass Core is cheaper in itself, but offers less.
For special features, such as Antstream, where it is possible to take out a lifelong subscription on consoles, the next lowest level was taken, which in this case is the annual subscription. The list below always states which subscription level was used as a basis.
In addition, the lowest level was used for the Netflix subscription, as this already gives you access to all the games, and better quality or advertising when streaming films is irrelevant for this list.

More about subscription services
What is not included in the calculation:I could have included many other subscriptions, but here I only referred to all services that are outside of games. So I didn't take things like a WoW or Final Fantasy 14 subscription, Fortnite Crew, Just Dance+ and much more into account. The monthly subscription costs here are usually between 5-15 euros.
All possible battle passes, microtransactions and much more have also been excluded. In addition to the subscription services, you can spend significantly more money on games on a monthly or one-off basis.
