Sony Raises European PlayStation Plus Prices

Following a similar US price hike, Sony is raising the price of PlayStation Plus in Europe. The price increase includes monthly, quarterly, and annual subscriptions. Accordingly, the monthly, quarterly, and annual (UK) prices will increase by £1, £5, and £10, respectively.

PS Plus Prices

According to Sony, UK prices will change thusly:

  • Annually, the price will change from £39.99 to £49.99 per annum
  • Quarterly, the price will change from £14.99 to £19.99 per quarter
  • Monthly, the price will change from £5.99 to £6.99 per month

There’s Still Time

However, the changes don’t come into effect until the end of August, so there’s still time to bag the cheap(er) subscription.

Sony says:

“We will alter the price of a PlayStation®Plus membership at 00:01 BST on 31 August 2017. As you are an existing member, this means that all recurring subscription fees payable by you on or after 31 August 2017 will be charged at the new price. Up until 31 August 2017, you may purchase a PlayStation®Plus subscription at the current price, which will then be added (or “stacked on”) to your current membership period.

If you don’t want to continue with PlayStation®Plus

If you want to prevent your PlayStation®Plus membership continuing at the new price, you will need to cancel it – turn OFF “auto-renew” in your account settings at least 48 hours before your next payment on or after 31 August 2017 is due. There’s some guidance on how to cancel your membership on PlayStation.com.”

This month’s free PlayStation Plus games include Until Dawn, Telltale’s Game of Thrones, and Tokyo Jungle. Meanwhile, August includes Just Cause 3 and Downwell for free.
