As a dedicated gamer, I’ve got some news that might affect your gaming wallet: The cost of PlayStation Plus subscriptions is set to rise in one major region soon. Just a few days ago, Sony caused quite a stir when they announced an immediate increase in the price of PS5 consoles in Europe, UK, Australia, and New Zealand. While some of us were worried that this price hike might extend to other regions, it seems like the PS Plus subscription is the next part of the PlayStation universe that’s going to become a bit more expensive.
Starting from this week, Sony has started sending emails to Canadian PlayStation Plus members announcing a price hike for their service, effective later in the year on June 24th. The costs for each membership tier of PS Plus will rise: PS Plus Essential will increase to $110 from its current $95, PS Plus Extra will move up to $190 instead of its present $155 price point, while PS Plus Premium will cost $225 rather than the current $190. It’s important to mention that these amounts apply to the annual subscriptions of PS Plus; the monthly and three-month tiers are also set to increase accordingly.
In Canada, the pricing for PlayStation Plus has been raised. Here’s a breakdown of the new prices:
* For the Essential plan, it now costs $109.99 CAD per year.
* The Extra plan is now priced at $189.99 CAD per year.
* Lastly, the Premium plan will set you back by $224.99 CAD per year.— Wario64 (@Wario64) April 16, 2025
Currently, we’re unsure about how a potential increase in PS Plus pricing in Canada might affect other regions. Last year, Sony increased the cost of PlayStation Plus subscription across all territories, causing disappointment among PlayStation users. Given that the price hike is happening again in Canada, it raises concerns that similar adjustments could be made in other countries soon.
One potential rephrasing of your text could be: It’s disheartening that PS Plus is consistently increasing in price without any additional features being added. Instead, Sony mainly offers a selection of free games each month and makes online gameplay a subscription-only privilege. Although it’s possible that the expenses for maintaining PS Plus are rising, the recent price hike in Canada isn’t generally received positively by subscribers who consider the service expensive already.
