On Friday, April 11th, 2025 at 7:15 am, the increase in the cost of PS Plus membership is not limited to South America. In addition to this region, Sony has also declared price hikes in Australia.
The changes are as follows:
PS Plus Essential
- 1 month
- $12.95 AUD (previously $11.95 AUD)
- 3 months
- $35.95 AUD (previously $33.95 AUD)
- 12 months
- $102.95 AUD (previously $95.95 AUD)
PS Plus Extra
- 1 month
- $20.95 AUD (previously $18.95 AUD)
- 3 months
- $59.95 AUD (previously $54.95 AUD)
- 12 months
- $187.95 AUD (previously $169.95 AUD)
PS Plus Deluxe
- 1 month
- $23.95 AUD (previously $21.95 AUD)
- 3 months
- $70.95 AUD (previously $63.95 AUD)
- 12 months
- $214.95 AUD (previously $196.95 AUD)
Indeed, there’s an impressive jump, yet it’s crucial to mention that at present currency conversions, $214.95 AUD translates approximately to $133.20 USD. To put this into perspective, this is less than what Americans pay for PS Plus Premium yearly.
Absolutely, I get that there are various economic aspects influencing this situation, and it’s frustrating to know that the cloud streaming feature isn’t available here like it is elsewhere.
The price increase will go into effect from 16th April.
Beginning on April 16th, 2025, the cost of a PS Plus subscription will rise in 15 Latin American nations, according to an announcement made by Sony today. The following countries will see an increase in their subscription fees:
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Chile
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- Ecuador
- El Salvador
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Mexico
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Uruguay
Sony attributes the price hike to “changes in global market circumstances.” By raising the prices, they aim to “keep providing top-notch video games and additional advantages for your PlayStation Plus membership.
The increase in prices affects all new customers across the fifteen countries. Existing members, however, will need to begin paying the new rates when their next billing period starts. Here’s what the revised pricing looks like:
| PS Plus Essential | PS Plus Extra | PS Plus Deluxe | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $7.99 | $11.99 | $13.99 |
| 3 months | $20.99 | $33.99 | $39.99 |
| 12 months | $64.99 | $107.99 | $124.99 |
Based on reports from those affected, the prices for 12-month subscriptions have risen as follows:
* $10 more for a year of PS Plus Essential
* $14 more for a year of PS Plus Extra
* $18 more for PS Plus Deluxe (Note: This isn’t PS Plus Premium; it’s a different offering in countries where streaming PS3 games isn’t available, making it a less favorable deal.)
