Overview
- PlayStation, which announced the change Monday, set new starter rates at $10.99 for one month and $27.99 for three months in the US, with €9.99/€27.99 and £7.99/£21.99 in Europe and the UK.
- The increase targets new sign-ups only, and current members keep their rates unless a plan lapses or changes, with Turkey and India excluded from that protection.
- The listed prices align with the Essential tier used for online multiplayer and monthly games, and Sony has not said whether Extra or Premium will change or which countries are covered.
- Sony attributed the move to “ongoing market conditions,” the same reasoning it used for this year’s PS5 price hikes.
- Annual plans appear unchanged for now, so people who pay month to month will feel the increase most.
