Video game enthusiasts and especially PS4 and PS5 users will have to get their hands on the wallet. Sony has just announced an increase, starting on September 6, in the price of subscriptions to PlayStation Plus, its subscription service to benefit from free games.
For now, only customers who have subscribed to an annual subscription will be affected by this significant price increase, which will apply to the three types of offers offered by the company.
Increase of more than 30 euros
In detail, the PlayStation Plus Essential offer -the basic package- will drop from 59.99 euros to 71.99 euros per year. That’s an additional 20%. The Extra offer, mid-range, sees its price increased from 99.99 euros to 125.99 euros (+26%). Finally, the Premium offer, which will allow you to benefit from all the advantages, will go from 119.99 to 151.99 euros. That is also 26% inflation.
The company specifies that the new prices of this annual subscription will only apply from the next renewal date of the package, from November 6, for those who are already subscribers.
Please note that monthly or quarterly subscriptions are currently not affected by this price increase. In any case, subscribers to the annual PlayStation Plus will be notified by email of this increase.
As of the end of May 2023, Sony had 47 million PlayStation Plus subscribers, including more than 14 million with above-basic offers.
