- General price trends: Reports from 2023 noted that Sony raised 12-month PS Plus prices across Essential, Extra, and Premium/Deluxe tiers, with notable increases taking effect for new or renewing subscribers in the months that followed. This reflects Sony’s broader pricing adjustments to sustain content and services across the PS Plus lineup.[1]
