Summary
- PlayStation Plus subscription prices in 15 Latin American countries will increase starting April 16 due to global market conditions.
- The price hike affects all tiers (Essential, Extra, Deluxe), adding $10 to $18 annually, not including the Premium tier.
- While North American prices haven’t changed yet, inflation-proof stacking of subscriptions remains an option for gamers.
Increase in prices for items is hardly enjoyable, but regrettably, it’s a common occurrence. Dishearteningly, an uptick in costs applies to every tier of the PlayStation Plus subscription service, even without tariffs, in fifteen different nations.
The price hike starts April 16 and will affect 15 countries in Latin America.

- El Salvador

Based on information from Push Square, Sony has announced that the price hike is attributed to fluctuations in global market conditions. This adjustment impacts all three membership tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium. The new pricing will take effect during your next billing cycle for your subscription.
The price hike isn’t insignificant, considering a 12-month subscription for PS Plus Essential will now cost $10 more, while PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Deluxe will increase by $14 and $18 respectively. This isn’t just an upgrade to PS Plus Premium. For countries unable to stream PS3 games, the Deluxe tier is what Sony provides, making this increase look even less favorable in contrast.
The updated price list is as follows:
| PS Plus Essential | PS Plus Extra | PS Plus Deluxe | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | $7.99 | $11.99 | $13.99 |
| 3 months | $20.99 | $33.99 | $39.99 |
| 12 months | $64.99 | $107.99 | $124.99 |
Currently, the U.S. isn’t impacted, but rising prices are generally undesirable and can indicate global economic changes. It’s plausible that we might witness an increase in the price of PlayStation Plus in North America, considering that it has already gone up in other regions.
In the United States, the last price hike for PlayStation Plus occurred in 2023, which drew significant criticism. However, a strategy many players employ is stacking subscriptions, a method that helps them cope with inflation and maintain their membership.
As a devoted player, I’m thrilled by the latest rumors suggesting that a timeless PS2 gem could soon return on our beloved PS Plus service!
