Sony raises PS Plus prices for one- and three-month subscriptions

Key points

• Sony has raised prices of the PS Plus subscription service.
• A one-month subscription to the Essential tier now costs $11 per month, an increase of $1. Additionally, a three-month subscription just went up to $28, an increase of $3. It looks like annual subscribers are off the hook for now, and the wording of Sony's post on X announcing the change makes it sound like the Extra and Premium tiers are also impacted.
• This only impacts new subscribers, except in Turkey and India.
• The company is blaming this increase on "ongoing market conditions." When a tech company says this in 2026, it's typically referring to Trump-adjacent tariffs or AI-based memory crunch.
• However, PS Plus is a digital subscription service that provides a handful of monthly game titles to download.
