September PS Plus games revealed alongside annual subscription price hike
Sony has announced plans to raise prices for all 12-month PS Plus subscriptions.
With September around the corner, Sony has shared the list of games being added to its PlayStation Plus subscription service for all tiers. This includes the 2022 reboot of Saints Row, Black Desert - Traveler Edition, and Generation Zero. However, the reveal also came with the announcement that all three tiers of PlayStation Plus’ annual subscription plan will soon receive a price increase.
All the details were shared in a recent post on the PlayStation Blog. Although the three tiers of PlayStation Plus provide access to different games and perks, the monthly PS Plus games are available to all subscribers. You’ll need to claim them before the month ends, as they’ll be returning to their standard price once the next month rolls around. This also means that players have a little time left to claim the games from August.

At the end of the blog, Sony announces upcoming price increases to the 12-month subscription plans for PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium. The new prices will go into effect on September 6 and will affect players around the globe. Sony says the move will “enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service.”
- PS Plus Essential: $79.99 USD (was $59.99 USD)
- PS Plus Extra: $134.99 USD (was $99.99 USD)
- PS Plus Premium: $159.99 USD (was $119.99 USD)
The PS Plus line-up for September is set, so prepare to expand your library if these titles are of interest. It’s also worth a PSA that you can still score a 12-month PS Plus subscription under the old prices up until the changes take place on September 6.

If nothing else, at least it gives me a way to try out the new Saints Row for a few hours and be disappointed.

If this keeps up, a gaming pc will be the cheaper choice.

i unsubbed earlier this year, along with like 4 other subscriptions (in an effort to cleanup the subscription creep hell and see which ones I actually miss and use actively), and I can't say I miss it at all.
There hasn't been a free title that made me resub, and I don't play online much I guess!-
I'm thinking I might not resubscribe when mine runs out in February. The free games are nice, but at this point it's just becoming another icon collection for me rather than something I actually use.
-
Yeah I think I may cancel mine too after my time ends.
I don’t play much online and the free games were mostly an icon collection.
-
-
I just removed my CC and unsubbed.
-
-
That’s 33% increase for the essential plan. Not very cool.
-
..do we get more stuff? Because otherwise, not really worth it. I mean, we get flops like saints row? Who cares.

You can cancel your Plus subscription here:

Done

That is expensive.
-
-
Damn really? I finally may have to bounce off of that. No more Elden Ring online for me I guess :/
-
For current 12-month subscribers, this price increase will not take effect until your next renewal date that occurs on or after November 6.
So if my subscription renews in October, does that mean I’m locked in to the old price until next year?-
-
So I could technically lock in two years at the current price?
-
It seems like it. My sub was going to expire in November 2023, and I just now bought another year for $99 and now it expires in nov 2024
I was gonna wait for the usual 25% off Black Friday sale, but if they just discount the increased price by 25%, it’s basically the same as just buying it now (and there’s no guarantee they put it on sale either)-
Done and done, locked until 2024.

Wow f that. I think I got my Extra @ $70 for black friday. Just wait til then.
-
-
No multiplayer and no cloud saves basically, at the lowest tier
There are free monthly games too a la Games with Gold but I've never found them to be too compelling
The PS Collection *used* to be a big benefit, but they pulled that (like assholes). Had games like Bloodborne and GoW 2018.-
-
Nintendo charges for them too

Jesus...that's a big fucking price increase

I’ve gotten my money’s worth so far because:
I don’t have GP, so the games that are on both services aren’t double dipped.
I’ve been pretty strict with myself about not buying games until I’ve finished the one I’m playing, which has resulted in a lot of Sony first party and other AAAs and big indies I would have otherwise purchased coming to me via the service. If I bought everything day one, it wouldn’t be as much of a deal.
I keep track of the day one games on both GP and PS+ and for now, Sony’s day one exclusives, like Stray and Humanity, were more my speed. That could change when I have a more updated PC or maybe not.
If folks don’t fit this profile, I don’t think this will be a big deal to not subscribe to until Sony drops that Last of Us online game and others like Helldivers 2. I assume those games will have free weekends to drum up business, though.
