This time this is not a new list of games that have to be discovered for PS Plus subscribers, but a list of countries in which prices rise. In short, it's much less wonderful. We explain everything to you.
Sony has just confirmed a new price increase for the PS Plu service. From April 16, 2025, players from several countries have to pay more to access the three subscription formulas offered: essential, extra and deluxe. Why and who is concerned? In short, a message that smiles less than the PS more, April 2025.
An increase in economic conditions for the PS Plus justified
So often Sony explains this increase through “world market conditions”. The company clearly believes that it has to check its PS plus prices in order to continue to offer high -quality games and enrich the advantages contained in its subscriptions. A classic discourse that is that the teeth are frightened, especially in regions in which the purchasing power of the players is often more limited than in Europe or North America.
This price increase does not affect the whole world. It is currently limited to 15 countries in Latin America. Are concerned: theArgentina, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Uruguay, Costa Rica, but also countries such as Guatemala, Nicaragua or Ecuador. The new prices apply automatically when payment of the payment for current subscribers. With regard to new users, you must pay these new prices directly from April 16.
Subscriptions that cost more and more expensive
In detail, this increase is anything but symbolic. The essential subscription increases to $ 64.99 for one year. The additional formula rose to $ 107.99 and the Deluxe offer now reaches $ 124.99 for twelve months. This corresponds to an increase between 10 and 18 US dollars per year, depending on the selected subscription. A significant sum for many players. Especially in these countries.
It should be remembered that the Deluxe offer offered in these countries is a relieved version of the Premium subscription, which is available elsewhere. You cannot play in streaming at PS3 games. It is therefore a slightly less advantageous formula that can be perceived even less well with this price increase of the PS Plus.
This announcement comes in an already complicated context for subscription services. The PS catalog is growing more continuously with the upcoming arrival of Hogwarts Legacy, but prices rise everywhere, be it at Sony, Microsoft or other market participants.
