Starting September 6, PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) subscribers will experience a price increase across all tiers of the subscription service.
The new prices for the three different tiers of PS Plus in their 12-month subscriptions are Essential – £59.99 (previously £49.99) ($59.99/$79.99),
Extra – £99.99 (previously £83.99) ($99.99/$134.99), and Premium – £119.99 (previously £99.99) ($119.99/$159.99).
Sony clarified that membership changes enacted either on or after September 6, such as moving from Essential to Extra, “will update your plan reflecting the new prices”.
The price adjustment is aimed at enabling Sony to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PS Plus subscription service.
On the official PlayStation blog, Sony said that the price increase would allow them to continue providing subscribers with high-quality games and value-added benefits.
However, those who are already on a rolling 12-month subscription will not be charged the new prices until their next renewal date on or after November 6.
Despite the price increase, the three tiers of PS Plus subscriptions are still cheaper than the cost of the one-month or three-month subscriptions over the course of a year.
In addition to the price increase, Sony announced the PS Plus monthly games for September in the same release. These are Saints Row, Black Desert Traveller Edition, and Generation Zero, and will become available from September 5.
Subscribers will lose the ability to add August’s games – Death’s Door, Dreams, and PGA Tour 2K23 – to their PlayStation library on September 4.
