Sony raises PlayStation Plus price in Europe – “To reflect various market conditions”

Sony is raising the price of PlayStation Plus in Europe. The reason for doing this? Well, it’s down to “market conditions” naturally.

Takeaways:

• The new price was discovered when emails were sent out to PS Plus subscribers.
• In the UK that means the annual price goes up by 25%, from £39.99 to £49.99. Quite a jump…
• The quarterly price goes up from £14.99 to £19.99. And the monthly price goes up from £5.99 to £6.99.
• The change in prices goes into effect from the 31st August onwards.

So if you like the service, it’s probably best to buy a new subscription at the current price, which will then be “stacked” onto your current membership period.
