Sony has announced that it will be increasing the prices of its PlayStation Plus subscription service. The new prices will go into effect on September 6th, 2023.
The Essential tier, which is the basic tier that offers online multiplayer and monthly games, will increase from $60 per year to $80 per year. The Extra tier, which offers a library of downloadable games, will increase from $100 per year to $135 per year.
The Premium tier, which offers all of the benefits of the Essential and Extra tiers plus cloud gaming and a catalog of classic games, will increase from $120 per year to $160 per year.
Sony says that the price increase is necessary to “continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service.”
The company also says that it will be offering a grace period for current subscribers so that they will not be affected by the price increase until their next renewal date.
