PlayStation Plus subscription prices increased for new customers and returning subscribers in certain regions, including the United States. The Essential tier rose from $9.99 to $10.99 per month and from $24.99 to $27.99 for three months. Premium and Extra also increased, with Premium moving from $17.99 to $19.99 per month and from $49.99 to $54.99 for three months, while Extra moved from $14.99 to $16.99 per month and from $39.99 to $43.99 for three months.

When Sony announced the price increase on Monday, it only shared the new prices for the Essential tier. It did, seemingly, hint at or imply that there would be other price increases with the line "prices will start at..." but honestly, it's pretty crappy of Sony to obfuscate the fact that all tiers were going up."
