Sony has quietly announced a price increase for the PlayStation Plus subscription. The price increase amounts to one euro for one month.
After raising the prices of all PlayStation 5 consoles last month, Sony has now announced an increase in the price of its PlayStation Plus subscription service.
The new prices are already in effect from this Wednesday, 20.5.and will apply to all future subscribers. Existing subscribers will not feel the price increase if they do not change their subscription, as long as they renew it.
And how much did it go up in price?
Sony are a bit vague and silent about it. They said that the minimum price of PlayStation Plus Essential will now be €9.99 for one monthwhich means that it is about an increase of one euro. In three months, the price will be €27.99, which means three euros more than before.
Now, they don’t mention price increases for the Extra and Premium subscription tiers, although the announcement was made so that price increases for those tiers are not excluded. Sony mentions only the initial prices of PS Plus, and the whole announcement is kind of shy, and the notice about the price increase has not yet been shared even on the official PlayStation Blog.
This is the third increase in the price of the PlayStation Plus service in the last seven years. The last time it happened was in 2023, and before 2019, the service cost less than eight euros.
