Sony raising PS Plus pricing by 33% - Beehaw

Tier Original Pricing. New Pricing PS Plus Essential £49.99 / $59.99 £59.99 / $79.99 PS Plus Extra £83.99 / $99.99 £99.99 / $134.99 PS Plus Premium £99.99 / $119.99 £119.99 / $159.99 33+% is quite a hike, considering that Sony doesn’t offer PS+ Day 1 Launches, unlike Xbox. I hope they start offering their games day one, else people will start to unsubscribe. It’s a bummer, since I like PS+ Extra a lot (don’t get PS+ Premium, it’s not worth it) Also very scummy of them to hide their pricing update behind the Sept PS+ monthly games blogpost [https://blog.playstation.com/2023/08/30/playstation-plus-monthly-games-for-september-saints-row-black-desert-traveler-edition-generation-zero/]

I’ve been paying for premium for the last year (monthly, not so bright here) and I haven’t used any of the offerings of streaming or demos. I’m def lowering my sub to extra (I def play from the catalog) but wondering if I should just pay for the year subscription now or wait for any discounts that may happen.

I think I read we have til Sept 6 to pay for current prices, so I figured I’d just get the year today. Any thoughts?
