Starting today, May 20th, Sony is raising the price of standard PlayStation Plus subscriptions.
The company is raising prices on its Essential and three-month subscriptions. The Essential tier will now cost £7.99 (previously £6.99), $10.99, and €9.99. A basic three-month subscription will increase to £21.99, $27.99, and €27.99.
The company blamed rising prices on the current market situation, following a previous £90 increase for the PS5 in March. Sony had previously mentioned ongoing economic difficulties, and it seems gaming companies generally are being affected – the Nintendo Switch 2 is now more expensive in the US and Europe as well.
Want to lower the cost of your PlayStation Plus membership? Here are a few easy ways to do it.
How to save on PlayStation Plus in the UK
As a PlayStation fan, I’ve found the best way to save money on PlayStation Plus is to buy a longer subscription upfront. Sites like Loaded (used to be CD Keys) in the UK have deals on everything from 14-day passes all the way up to 24-month memberships, and it definitely works out cheaper in the long run!
These subscriptions are currently on sale, so you could save money if you sign up for a full year quickly. Currently, the best price for a 24-month PlayStation Plus Premium subscription is £194.99, which works out to just £8 per month.
Digital PlayStation Plus gift cards are available from retailers like Very, Amazon, and Currys, with prices ranging from £20 to £100.
Bundle with a PS5 console
If you’re buying a PS5 for the first time, you can find bundles that include a PlayStation Plus subscription at retailers like EE and Argos. These bundles cost £679.99, which breaks down to £569.99 for the console and £110 for a year of PlayStation Plus (equivalent to £9 per month).
