PlayStation Plus prices go up alongside September games

PlayStation announced today that, alongside its usual slate of free titles, it’s raising the price of PS Plus in September. Starting September 6, the 12-month subscription price for each tier of the service is rising by a large percentage. The games for that month, which launch on September 5, are Saints Row (2022), Black Desert: Traveler Edition and Generation Zero.

The new prices for a yearly subscription for each tier are $80 for Essential, $135 for Extra and $180 for Premium. The previous prices for each tier are $60, $100 and $120 respectively. PlayStation set these prices when the revamped PS Plus launched last year. This comes shortly after Xbox raised the prices for rival subscription service Game Pass in July.
