Having an ongoing PlayStation Plus subscription can be either the best financial decision, or the worst, depending on Sony’s actions. Despite the ever-increasing subscription costs, some months see users treated to some of the best and newest AAA releases, which, in the long run, saves a whole lot of money. However, with other months leaving a lot to the imagination, it is no wonder that many members have chosen to cancel their subscriptions in recent years.
Not only that, but with Sony making some questionable decisions recently, such as the announcement that physical discs would be phased out by 2027, many fans of PlayStation have decided to boycott, despite having been fans since the first console was released back in 1994.
However, it seems as though Sony is on a mission to tempt fans back, especially when it comes to its PlayStation Plus subscription service. Being a member gives players access to online multiplayer, monthly downloadable games, cloud saves, store discounts and regular perks, but now Sony is back with its biggest incentives yet.
If you are subscribed to PlayStation Plus at any tier, including Essential , Extra , and Premium, you can now claim some limited-time bonuses if you have an active subscription on either PlayStation 4 or PlayStation 5. The bonuses are as follows:
- 3-month free trial of YouTube Premium
- 2-month free trial of Calm
- Movie credit for Sony Pictures Core
- £0.99 monthly subscription to Audible for three months
- 20% off DAZN Ultimate subscription
- 5% discount on products from PlayStation Direct
- £10 saving on select PS5 DualSense controllers
- 10% saving on gaming products and audio speakers from Sony Electronics
The catch here is that these bonuses are only available to PlayStation Plus members in the UK, France, and Germany, but if successful, there is no doubt that they will soon be rolled out globally.
As mentioned, you have to be an active PS Plus subscriber to make use of these perks, but if you are, all you have to do is simply head to your PSN account, and select ‘Unlock Offer’ on whichever perks you want. However, it is worth remembering that many of these are free monthly trials, and so do not forget to cancel auto-renewal if you don’t wish to continue the subscription.
Over on the official Twitter/X account, following the announcement of these exciting deals, PlayStation users took to the comments to share their thoughts, with one comment reading, “Calling free trials a perk is a big reach.” Another said, “This is very poor. PlayStation is struggling to get back on side and just trying anything but not doing anything that’s actually meaningful to players.”
With others begging Sony to bring back its PlayStation Stars program, it seems as though this recent attempt at “perks” is not what fans wanted once again.
