So we took on the task of checking prices and seeing what each one of them offers so that everyone can make their own decisions.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack and what it offers
What concerns to Nintendo Switch Online, in its basic version, allows online play between titles of Nintendo and other licensees, cloud data storage and various promotions.

Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, for its part, has all of the above in addition to games of the Nintendo 64 and Sega genesis, plus new downloadable content from Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
Its cost is $ 1,189 pesos for an individual year and $ 1,899 pesos for a family. What about Xbox Game Pass Ultimate? In the case of this service, it comes with other additional ones, such as the same Game pass for both console and PC.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate costs more, but offers more
Game pass in form of streaming for mobile is also available, as well as EA Play and all that it entails Xbox Live Gold, which has other functions. Per month it is necessary to pay $ 229 pesos and there is no annual plan.
But if we pay month to month for a year it is $ 2,748 pesos. Now what if we just want Gold? In that case, you only have to pay $ 169 pesos per month and $ 419 pesos every three months. Nor can a full year be paid.
That is why the annual amount varies depending on how it is paid. In respect of Playstation plus, allows you to play various titles of PS4 and PS5, with free monthly games. Unlike Nintendo Switch Online and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, must be paid in dollars.
Per month it is $ 6.99; every three, $ 16.99; and per year, $ 39.99. These prices vary depending on the price of the dollar and the collection of taxes, such as VAT (16%) in Mexico.

Although in the case of the latter the price of the dollar matters a lot. There are many things that must be taken into account when paying for services like this and it is a decision of each one.
