PlayStation Plus price hike has fans vowing to cancel their subscriptions

"It was already too expensive"

PlayStation Plus has received a price hike in certain regions, and it's prompting players to cancel their subscriptions in protest.

This is not the first time PlayStation Plus has received a price increase, as the service last received one back in 2023. This saw annual prices rise by as much as $20 for certain tiers.

The economy is in a rough shape right now, and prices of almost everything seem to be going up. Even new video games are going for around £75/$80 if the Mario Kart World prices end up sticking.

So, really, it's just getting a little harder to afford games or subscriptions at the moment.

Hogwarts Legacy is joining PlayStation Plus Extra this month.

Now, Sony is increasing the price of PlayStation Plus in certain countries. The affected regions are Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.

The new prices are as follows:

PlayStation Plus Essential:

  • One month: 7.99 USD
  • Three months: 20.99 USD
  • 12 months: 64.99 USD

PlayStation Plus Extra:

  • One month: 11.99 USD
  • Three months: 33.99 USD
  • 12 months: 107.99 USD

PlayStation Plus Premium:

  • One month: 13.99 USD
  • Three months: 39.99 USD
  • 12 months: 124.99 USD

This news has made some fans unhappy, and has even prompted users to vow to cancel their subscriptions.

"I'm about to cancel this c**p, it was already too expensive," wrote one user on the PlayStation Plus Reddit page in response to the news.

"I'm glad I switched to PC and won't continue to subscribe to trash PS+ like an idiot," another user wrote.

They also acknowledged that certain countries in Asia had received similar price increases recently too.

"Just renewed with discount to be canceling again very soon," a third user wrote. "Looks like some weird punishment for us."

This new price hike comes into effect from 16 April, 2025. So, if you're affected by these changes, you still have a few days to subscribe at the discounted price if you plan to do so.

For current subscribers, the price change won't apply until the next billing date occurring on or after 24 June.
