Sony has announced that PlayStation Plus prices are rising for new customers in “select” regions, but that if you’re an existing subscriber, the price change does not apply – not unless the subscription lapses or changes. Or unless you are in Turkey or India.<\/p>\n
“Starting May 20, PlayStation Plus prices for new customers will increase in select regions,” PlayStation announced in a post on X. “Due to ongoing market conditions, prices will start at $10.99 USD \/ \u20ac9.99 EUR \/ \u00a37.99 GBP for 1-month subscriptions and $27.99 USD \/ \u20ac27.99 EUR \/ \u00a321.99 GBP for 3-month subscriptions.<\/p>\n
“This price change does not apply to current subscribers (except in Turkey and India) unless the existing subscription changes or lapses.”<\/p>\n
Presumably, mention of “prices will start at” means we’re talking about the bottom, PlayStation Plus Essential tier, though I will try to clarify this. This subscription currently costs \u00a36.99 a month in the UK, so the price rises each month by one pound. The three-month price currently is \u00a319.99, so this rises by two pounds.<\/p>\n
There’s no mention of whether this will affect the more expensive Extra and Premium tiers.<\/p>\n
PlayStation Plus Essential is the baseline offering designed to enable multiplayer play while giving you a small selection of free games. The more expensive Extra and Premium tiers offer far more in this regard, including in May’s PlayStation Plus line-up, games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 and Star Wars Outlaws.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
