Sony is raising the price of its PlayStation Plus subscription next month. The service’s annual Essential plan will go from $60 to $80, the Extra plan from $100 to $135, and the Premium plan from $120 to $160. The new pricing goes into effect starting September 6th.

If you’re currently subscribed to PlayStation Plus, Sony says the price increase won’t take effect until your next renewal date or after November 6th. However, if you make any changes to your subscription, “such as upgrades, downgrades or buying additional time,” you’ll have to pay the new rate.

Sony says the price hikes will go into effect globally and will allow the company to “continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits” to the service. It adds that the yearly plans will still come at a discounted rate as opposed to the one- or three-month subscriptions that it offers.

Launched last year, PlayStation Plus is Sony’s answer to Xbox GamePass, which allows you to play a rotating selection of games each month. For the month of September, PlayStation Plus will include Saints Row, Black Desert: Traveler Edition, and Generation Zero.

Fuck Sony! I only play their single player, narrative driven games anyway. Other than that, its XBOX all the way!

You’re not going to survive out in the wild for long.

That's a huge jump, especially considering that they're not adding anything to it

Bullshit! Most 3rd party games are playable on both consoles. Most of my friends play on Xbox. Sony has great games, but they tend to be single player games such as The Last of Us, Spiderman, God of WAR, Horizon Forbidden West, etc Xbox has all of their 1st party games on Game Pass, day one. Sony gives u a bunch of bullshit. I do not need their online platform to play the games that they have that I enjoy.

It's worth it. There so many games out there to keep track of that I just stop buying any. I just wait for it to come on plus. Same like game pass.

I see your point, but Game Pass games come day and date...PS games, u might wait 4ever to get a decent 1st party game. Gamers should protest by dropping their subscription. They charge you more and add nothing more in value. Thats a huge no for me.
