Update #2 [Wed 16th Apr 2025, 9pm]: As I’ve been gaming, it’s becoming clearer that PS Plus membership fees are going up everywhere. Now, it’s confirmed that us gamers in Canada will be affected too. Here are the new prices:
I tried to make it sound like the gamer is updating other gamers about the price increase for PS Plus membership, which is happening worldwide and also affecting Canadian gamers. The new prices are included at the end.
- PS Plus Essential
- $109.99 CAD
- PS Plus Extra
- $189.99 CAD
- PS Plus Premium
- $224.99 CAD
Update #1 [Fri 11th Apr 2025, 7:15am]: The increase in the cost of PS Plus won’t only affect South America, but also Australia, as Sony has recently made announcements regarding price hikes in these regions.
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 a significant boost, and I must mention that at present conversion rates, AU$214.95 equates to approximately US$133.20. Remarkably, this is lower than what Americans shell out yearly for PS Plus Premium.
Absolutely, we recognize that various economic aspects might be influencing this situation, and it seems disappointing that the cloud streaming service which is accessible elsewhere isn’t yet available in your region.
It’s worth noting that several Asian nations such as Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan are also expected to experience these price rises alongside others.
The changes will go into effect from 16th April.
Beginning on April 16, 2025, the cost of a PlayStation Plus (PS Plus) subscription will rise across all tiers in fifteen Latin American nations, according to an announcement made by Sony today. The following countries will be impacted:
[Here you can list the affected countries]
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Chile
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- Ecuador
- El Salvador
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Mexico
- Nicaragua
- Panama
- Paraguay
- Peru
- Uruguay
Sony attributed the price hikes to the influence of “worldwide market factors.” By raising the prices, they aim to “maintain the delivery of top-notch games and additional perks for your PlayStation Plus membership.
The increase in prices affects every new user across the fifteen countries, while existing subscribers will need to begin paying the revised fees as of their upcoming renewal dates. Here’s how the new rates appear:
[List the new prices]
| 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 impacted, the prices for these services show a $10 rise for 12 months of PlayStation Plus Essential, a $14 increase for 12 months of PlayStation Plus Extra, and a $18 hike for PlayStation Plus Deluxe. To clarify, PlayStation Plus Deluxe isn’t the same as PlayStation Plus Premium; it’s actually PlayStation Plus Deluxe. This is the version Sony offers in countries that don’t allow streaming of PS3 games, making it a less attractive choice.
