Earlier today, Sony released its monthly PlayStation Plus games for September. Fans of the subscription are now waiting for bad news. The Japanese brand has released a statement that it has increased the PS Plus annual subscription prices, which it introduced last year, at all levels. For those who don’t know, Sony’s PS Plus subscription is similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Game Pass, and free games can be downloaded every month for the duration of the subscription. There are also other benefits such as exclusive discounts, cloud saving and online multiplayer.
Sony PS Plus subscription prices rise
Sony did not directly explain the reason for the price increase for the PlayStation Plus subscription. The company added that this will be implemented worldwide, allowing them to continue to offer high-quality games and additional benefits for the service. The recently revised PS Plus subscription prices will go into effect on September 6. The price increase will not affect existing PS Plus subscribers until the next renewal date on or after November 6th. However, changes in membership, such as upgrades, downgrades or purchasing additional time, will be reflected in the new prices.
PlayStation Plus is a subscription service required for online gaming on PS4 and PS5 consoles. It is offered in three tiers, Essential, Extra and Deluxe. The prices of all three categories have increased. A 12-month subscription to Essential, which offers three games a month, has gone from $60 to $80. PS Plus Extra offers the same benefits as the Essential tier but offers access to a wide range of PS4 and PS5 games. Its price has been increased from $100 to $135.
Finally, the most premium tier, PS Plus Deluxe, is priced between $120 and $160. It includes all the benefits of the main and extra levels and offers access to the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PSP catalog. It is worth noting that the revised prices differ from region to region.
Despite the increase in annual PlayStation Plus subscription prices, all tiers are still cheaper than purchasing a monthly or quarterly subscription for 12 months. Despite this, the PS Plus price increases were not well received by the fans. We hope Sony provides access to the best monthly games for subscribers.
