PlayStation fans will have to pay more to get the benefits of their PlayStation Plus subscription: Sony has actually announced a pretty significant price increase for all 12-month deals, up to 26%.
Everything costs more, and that includes PlayStation Plus subscriptions! Discreet, Sony has actually announced a price increase for the three formulas within 12 months. The Essential subscription therefore increases from €59.99 to €71.99 (+20%). The Ultra offer is billed at €125.99 instead of €99.99 (+26%). Finally, the Premium plan costs €151.99 instead of the current €119.99 (+26%).
New prices from September 6th
This increase does not affect monthly subscription prices (from €8.99 to €16.99), but Sony says that even after the increase, 12-month plans remain more advantageous than paying monthly (or every three months) . The price change will affect existing subscribers at the time of their renewal. It comes into force for new customers on September 6th: This means you still have a few days to benefit from the current special prices.
The three PlayStation Plus plans.
Sony explains that this price adjustment will allow it to continue offering high-quality games and add value to its subscriptions.
When PlayStation launched this subscription offering last year with these three plans, it didn’t take the easy route. All have online multiplayer and “games of the month”, but if you don’t have enough, you can access a catalog of PS4/PS5 games, Ubisoft+ classics, trials and streaming in the cloud, depending on your subscription.
