PS Plus Members Are Upgrading to Higher Tiers on PS5, PS4

Sony is effectively persuading its PS Plus Essential subscribers to opt for the higher-priced PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium membership levels.

As a passionate gamer, I can’t forget the exciting transformation that occurred under the heavy influence of Xbox Game Pass. The Japanese titan, in response, revamped its subscription service and introduced more premium options to its collection. The PS Plus Extra, a service I subscribe to, boasts an impressive library of over 600 games, including some day one titles such as the recently announced Lost Records: Bloom & Rage.

In addition, the PS Plus Premium service offers a variety of classic games, which now include updated editions of beloved titles like MediEvil and Sly Cooper that have been newly emulated.

During today’s earnings discussion, Hiroki Totoki, the company leader, expressed satisfaction with the current strategy, attributing a 20% year-on-year rise in PS Plus revenue mainly to an uptick in average user income per user. This increase is primarily due to users moving towards higher service tiers and the effects of price adjustments.

In September 2023, Sony raised the prices of all PlayStation Plus tiers noticeably. Now, the 20% increase is being measured against a timeframe when these price adjustments had already been implemented.
