Sony’s PlayStation Plus price increases demand real scrutiny: while the monthly game drops are appealing, many players feel they aren’t getting proportionally more for their money.
-
Cost Increases: Canada, Latin America, and other regions have seen noticeable PS Plus hikes, some nearing a 30% increase.
-
Game Lineup vs. Value: Although PS Plus now includes big hits like Hogwarts Legacy, not every month is a blockbuster — and there are frequent complaints about “filler” games.
-
Competition Comparison: Xbox Game Pass continues to offer day-one first-party titles, which PS Plus rarely matches, making value comparisons inevitable.
-
Subscriber Fatigue: With multiple gaming subscriptions (EA Play, Ubisoft+, Game Pass) available, players are becoming choosier about where they spend.
Conclusion:
If Sony wants to justify a pricier PS Plus, it must offer not just quantity but consistent, high-quality additions that truly enhance players’ libraries.
