Sony turns the price screw in many countries and makes the game subscription Playstation Plus more expensive. A harbinger for us too?
Inflation does not stop at the game industry either! Sony is now turning in a number of countries in the price screw as far as Playstation Plus concerns and sometimes makes the game subscription more noticeably more expensive. But are we not yet affected in local realms - but does we also have a price increase in the house here?
Specifically, the price spiral in this case is in Latin America, where Playstation Plus is now becoming more expensive in 16 countries at all levels. There, Sony had last adapted the prizes in September 2023, 18 months later the time has come again.
Depending on the chosen level and subscription term, the price increases are between 8.34 percent and 21.43 percent. The smallest jump makes Playstation Plus Essential in the annual subscription from 59.99 to now $ 54.99. The largest percentage of the 33.99 is now experienced by the 3-month subscription from PlayStation Plus to $ 33.99. Specifically, the adjustments look as follows:
PlayStation Plus Essential
- 1 month: $ 6.99 $ 7.99 (+14.31%)
- 3 Sweet: 17,99 $> 20,99 $ (+ 16,68%)
- 12 Sweet: 59,99 $> 64,99 $ (+ 8,34%)
PlayStation Plus Extra
- 1 month: $ 9.99 $ 11.99 (+20.02%)
- 3 Sweet: 26,99 $> 33,99 $ (+ 21,43%)

PlayStation Plus Premium

- 3 Sweet: 34,99 $> 39,99 $ (+ 14,29%)
- 12 Sweet: 109,99 $> 124,99 $ (+ 13,64%)
The new price will be valid in the following countries from April 16, 2025:

In most affected countries, the inflation rate has recently been significantly higher than in local areas and has risen above average since the last price adjustment Sony. As a reason for the price increase, the company now also leads unfavorable "global market conditions".
