PlayStation Plus: Plans, Pricing, Features, and Games
PlayStation Plus unlocks downloadable games and online play on PS5 and PS4. Plans start at $10 a month, and you can save with annual memberships.
www.businessinsider.comHere’s the latest widely reported pricing for PlayStation Plus Premium, based on recent public notices and reporting:
-
Premium 12-month price: around $159.99 USD per year (was $119.99–$160 range depending on date and region in prior announcements). In the U.S., reports indicate a jump to about $160 per year for the Premium tier when prices were adjusted in recent updates. This aligns with multiple outlets noting a substantial increase to the Premium tier on annual subscriptions.[3][5][7]
-
Compared to other tiers (for context): Essential 12-month price has risen toward $79.99–$80 USD, and Extra 12-month price around $134.99 USD, with similar percentage increases across regions in announced adjustments. These changes were described as occurring at renewal for existing annual subscribers or upon new purchases after the change window.[1][5][7]
Notes and caveats:
- The exact price can vary by country/region due to local taxes and currency, so the USD figures above are a reference point for the U.S. market. Other regions like the UK/EU typically reflect parallel increases in their local currencies.[5][1]
- If you’re currently on a monthly or 3-month plan, those prices may differ from annual plan changes, and the renewal timing for existing yearly subscribers can affect when you see the new rates.[7][1]
- Sony has historically disclosed that annual subscriptions can be more cost-effective than paying monthly or quarterly, even after price increases, but exact savings depend on how long you stay subscribed.[1][7]
