Sony Being Sony Again!

Story Highlight
  • Sony has confirmed that it will be increasing the price of all PS Plus tiers in 15 countries. 
  • The countries that will be affected are Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.
  • This change will be made starting April 16, 2025.

Sony has always been criticised for increasing the price of its subscription service. Paying to play online is already pretty controversial, so price hikes are never welcome. Sony previously increased the PS Plus price, which angered a massive fandom

The company doesn’t seem to have learned anything from the last backlash, as it is yet again increasing the price of all of its tiers. Sony has confirmed that it will be increasing the price of all tiers of PS Plus on April 16, 2025, in 15 Latin American countries.

Why it matters: Given how the subscription services of consoles are treated, this new price hike is sure to attract criticism. 

The countries that will be affected by the price are the following: 

  • Argentina
  • Bolivia
  • Chile
  • Colombia
  • Costa Rica
  • Ecuador
  • El Salvador
  • Guatemala
  • Honduras
  • Mexico
  • Nicaragua
  • Panama
  • Paraguay
  • Peru
  • Uruguay

In a new blog post, Sony has tried to justify the price hike by saying the increase is due to global market conditions.

Like many companies around the world, we continue to be impacted by global market conditions and will be adjusting our local PlayStation Plus pricing.

This pricing adjustment will allow us to continue offering high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription.

Those who already have the subscription won’t be affected by the price until their next billing date, which occurs on or after June 24. That said, if someone makes changes like stacking the subscription after April 16, they will be affected by the price change

For new users, the price will be the following for each tier: 

  • PlayStation Plus Essential:
    1 month: $7.99|3 months: $20.99|12 months: $64.99
  • PlayStation Plus Extra:
    1 month: $11.99|3 months: $33.99|12 months: $107.99
  • PlayStation Plus Deluxe:
    1 month: $13.99|3 months: $39.99|12 months: $124.99
