PlayStation Plus price has increased
- Thread starter Puff
- Start date
I thought there was a lot of positivity when stuff like Miles, HFW, Returnal, Demons Souls, Ratchet, Stray, Ghost of Tsushima were announced so early but if you think that's all shovelware then I won't change your mind.
Also the monthly threads people were comparing with Game Pass and PS Plus was better most of the time with well-known franchises, AAAs and some Day 1. Too bad you think it's all trash.
Gamepass also just increased their prices and removed the $1 trial and cheap upgrade tricks.
PS Plus will rise their prices -the Starfield release day btw- but will continue being cheaper than Game Pass.
I assume they made some market research and saw that it would benefit them in terms of revenue and profit in the long term. They don't make these kind of decisions because of the news of a certain week.
In addition to this, they soon will have that other cloud gaming thing they recently inclluded in a beta to allow you play via cloud gaming the PS5 games you bought (not the ones included in the game sub). And may add more stuff to PS+, things like cloud gaming on mobile is coming this gen and should be released soon. So they may announce extra PS+ stuff soon.
I think it also shows they aren't afraid at all with Starfield, they may think that Goodbye Volcano High is enough to counter it.

No, they're raising their prices because subscriber growth plateaued and they're trying to squeeze money from a stone. Because Jim is a slave to shareholders.
More garbage from Jim Ryan, the worst thing that’s ever happened to PlayStation. This stuff doesn’t come as a surprise to me at all anymore. I got premium for $90 on the summer deal, but I’m not renewing next year even if it’s $90 again. Subscription services are junk, and now this has turned me off from even buying the PSPortal.
Yeah it's complete lack of awareness.
I'm not defending the price increase here as i think it's bullshit, but if your going to announce the price increase do it around spiderman.
Maybe the new revision is gonna be announced very soon, and they will try and hide under that announcement and pricing.
Or maybe even the fabled second showcase? Or state of play?
The games you mentioned I already bought, why would I pay a sub to play AAA games, instead of buying them once and owning them forever?
Also, those games released on the sub quite a bit of time after they released. If I did not buy them already, chances are that I am not interested in those games in the first place. And yes, even with those games, most of the games on offer are shovelware.
Never said that GP was better than PS Plus.

Gaas, TV Shows & Prices increase

This is just plan awful.
That is a gigantic increase that seems just about greed.
Shame on you Sony

So instead spend $3000 on a pc and in a few years thousands more on a new graphics card?
Yeah I won't be renewing no highest tier or anything like that. These greedy Motherfuckers as in industry as a whole said "to keep prices down that's why we are creating dlc, expansions, going digital, etc" it's all bs. We never even saw discounts for most games not having hard copy releases.
Good reminder for me to turn off auto renew as I haven’t turned on my PS5 in months. I guess this forum will finally admit Jim Ryan is a horrible CEO when he hurts their wallets and not when he doesn’t deliver games
I moved to PC earlier this year because of Sonys trash management and couldn’t be happier
