Gamer Extends PS Plus Subscription Until 2048 to Beat Price Hikes
Solomon Thompson / 2 months ago
In a surprising move, one dedicated PlayStation user renewed their PS Plus subscription until 2048 – a whopping 24-year extension. With Sony recently hiking subscription prices and changing its policies, this long-term decision has sparked real interest and even curiosity among fellow gamers.
Player’s Plan to Dodge Price Increases
Earlier this year, Sony announced substantial changes to PS Plus, restructuring it into tiers like Essential, Extra, and Premium and upping the service cost. These shifts sparked concern among fans about potential future price hikes, so when a gamer posted on Reddit showing their subscription extended to 2048, it sparked immediate interest. As explained in their post, they made the decision to avoid future price increases.
Securing 24 years of PS Plus wasn’t a quick decision; it involved a calculated move to minimize costs. The gamer first renewed their subscription under the Essential tier, paying around $2,000 for the extended period. Later, they upgraded to Premium for only $199 more, securing high-tier benefits while saving nearly half the potential cost.
What about you? Would you lock in PS Plus for decades to dodge price hikes, or is it too big a gamble? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
