Tier                          Original Pricing.       New Pricing
PS Plus Essential	£49.99 / $59.99	£59.99 / $79.99
PS Plus Extra	        £83.99 / $99.99	£99.99 / $134.99
PS Plus Premium	£99.99 / $119.99	£119.99 / $159.99

33+% is quite a hike, considering that Sony doesn't offer PS+ Day 1 Launches, unlike Xbox. I hope they start offering their games day one, else people will start to unsubscribe.

It's a bummer, since I like PS+ Extra a lot (don't get PS+ Premium, it's not worth it)

Also very scummy of them to hide their pricing update behind the Sept PS+ monthly games blogpost

Wait, console players still have to pay to play online? Wtf? How have people kept purchasing these things?

    At first, we grumbled but did it because we knew that running the services had a cost. Then it got normalized. "Eh, it's the price of one game a year, and I get to play whatever online and get three 'free' games a month, so it's a good deal."

    Now, it's not a good deal anymore, at least for me. Hit the "Cancel" button on my sub not 5 minutes ago.

    I grew up on consoles, spent my teens on PC, and my adult life I've always kept both around, because I love games, regardless of where they are, but yeah. Most of my multiplayer was already on PC, this just solidifies my PS5 as a media/single player game appliance.
