Just one year after announcing the readjustment in the United States and Canada, Sony makes official the increase in the price of the subscription to PlayStation Plus from next August 31. In fact, it is a significant increase: we are talking about an increase of more than 15% compared to its current price, going to cost the twelve-month rate from 49.99 euros to 59.99 euros.
Naturally, those who have renewed their subscription on an annual or quarterly basis will not see the price increase until the months that they have arranged are over. In fact, until August 31, 2017, it is possible to purchase a PS Plus subscription for the current price and add the months to our current subscription period.

Although it is true that the price of PS Plus has barely changed since the service began in 2010, it is also fair to indicate that it was a movement that was seen to come sooner or later : to the referred price increase seen last year in North America there is Add to that the one that took place in 2015 in the United Kingdom, and even in 2014 there was a rise in South Africa, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey and India.
PlayStation Plus started as a Premium service on PS3, offering access to an instant collection of games, as well as exclusive discounts. Currently, it is necessary to be a subscriber to play online on PS4 . In fact, it is interesting to note that we would no longer have access to the games obtained through the Plus once our subscription has expired.
For now, beyond the incentive of being able to play online and save content and games in the Sony cloud, those PS Plus subscribers can currently download games like ‘Until Dawn’ and ‘Game of Thrones’ and starting next week’ Just Cause 3 ‘. Hopefully this increase will serve to reinforce both the quality of service and the selection of monthly games .
