Sony Increases Pricing on All Tiers of Playstation Plus Going Forward
In a move no one wanted, Sony announced they were increasing the cost of all three tiers of Playstation Plus, despite not announcing any additional benefits to the program than what we currently enjoy. The rates will take effect for all users upon renewal of their current subscription. So hopefully you all have stacked up, or can wait until you see a good sale.
Pricing Changes for PlayStation Plus 12-Month Subscriptions: Starting September 6, PlayStation will be implementing pricing adjustments for their 12-month subscription plans to ensure they can continue offering high-quality games and value-added benefits. Here’s a quick overview of the new pricing:
PlayStation Plus Essential 12-Month Subscription:
79.99 USD | 71,99 Euro | 59.99 GBP | 6,800 Yen
PlayStation Plus Extra 12-Month Subscription:
134.99 USD | 125,99 Euro | 99.99 GBP | 11,700 Yen
PlayStation Plus Premium 12-Month Subscription:
159.99 USD | 151,99 Euro | 119.99 GBP | 13,900 Yen
While making this announcement Sony also made it a point to mention that even with these increases, you will still enjoy some savings by purchasing a year vs month to month subscription.
