Sony Limits 33% PS Plus Discounts to New and Upgrading 12-Month Members
8 articles · Updated · Push Square · May 26
From May 27 to June 10, Sony’s Days of Play sale cuts 12-month PS Plus plans by up to 33%, but only for new subscribers or users moving to a higher tier.
Current members renewing the same tier get no discount, leaving Premium subscribers shut out entirely because they have no higher plan to upgrade to.
Sony says existing users can save 33% only on the remaining term when upgrading from Essential or Extra to Premium/Deluxe.
The restriction appears to have started in 2024; Sony’s 2023 Days of Play promotion had covered new members, existing members and upgrades.
The narrower offer follows recent PS Plus price increases across all three tiers, even though most 12-month plans were left unchanged outside some markets such as Australia.
After raising prices, why is Sony now excluding its most loyal members from its biggest annual sale?
Is Sony's premium strategy a brilliant way to boost profits or a gamble that will alienate its massive player base?
