Sony raised PlayStation Plus prices back in September when it revealed the PS Plus Essential games line-up. The users who had to pay extra for their annual subscription didn’t take this well. The PlayStation Plus subscription gives players access to new games every month and classic games from even the first PlayStation.
Sony Stops Updating PS Plus Subscriber Numbers
The recent PS Plus price hike was defended by Sony when asked the reason behind it. In an interview with Barron’s, Eric Lempel, a senior executive at PlayStation talked about bringing games directly on PS Plus and also talked about the price hike.
Lempel said that it is done to adjust to the conditions in the market and this is the first PS Plus price hike after years. He also mentioned that players are very happy with the three-tiered subscription system. Lempel stated:
Like practically everything else in the world, we have to look at our pricing and we have to adjust to market conditions. We want to make PlayStation Plus great. With our reboot last year and introducing the tier system, a lot of consumers have recognized that there’s a lot of value in PlayStation 5.
I’m happy to say, that unlike a lot of other subscription services out there, we haven’t touched the PlayStation Plus pricing for 85% of the world in many years. So, this was the first time we did something there.
