Update: Here's what prices Aussies are facing.
Sony will raise the price of PlayStation Plus subscriptions starting next month, it has recently revealed.
Update: We’ve now learned how PlayStation Plus price increases impact Australians — at the lowest level (Essential), Aussies will pay $20 AUD more. At the highest level (Deluxe), Aussies will be expected to pay $42 AUD more than before.
Here’s what a host of regions will soon pay for the service.
- PlayStation Plus Essential (12-Month Subscription)
- $95.95 AUD
- $79.99 USD
- 71,99 Euro
- 59.99 GBP
- 6,800 Yen
- PlayStation Plus Extra (12-Month Subscription)
- $169.95 AUD
- $134.99 USD
- 125,99 Euro

Original story: For comparison, current prices are $59.99 USD for Essential (an increase of $20 USD), $99.99 USD for Extra (an increase of $35 USD) and $119.99 USD for Premium (an increase of $40 USD). Price changes come into effect from 6 September (or whatever renewal date you have that falls after 6 September).
“The new prices for the 12-Month subscription will remain at a discounted rate when compared to purchasing the 1-Month or 3-Month subscriptions over a 12-month period,” Sony added.
Here in Australia, we don’t have the Premium tier as it’s also tied to PlayStation Now-style streaming which we don’t have access to. Instead, we have a tier called Deluxe… which is reflected in the information above.
