PlayStation Plus Price Increase Kicking Off Next Week
The 15 countries affected starting next week are the following:
According toSony(viaPush Square), the price increase is due to “global market conditions.” The price increase affects all three tiers (Essential, Extra, Premium), and the increase will start in the next billing cycle of a user’s membership.
It’s not a small increase as well, as it will add $10 for 12 months of PS Plus Essential, $14 increase for PS Plus Extra, and $18 for PS Plus Deluxe, which isn’t the same as PS Plus Premium. The Deluxe tier is what Sony offers to countries that can’t stream PS3 games, so this makes it even worse in comparison.
The updated price list is as follows:
PS Plus Essential
PS Plus Extra
PS Plus Deluxe
