"PlayStation Plus subscribers will be hit with price rises in some regions, the gaming company has said, citing "market conditions". A basic monthly subscription to the gaming service will rise by 1, $1 (75p), and 1 (87p) to 7.99, $10.99, and 9.99 respectively. Meanwhile, a basic three-month subscription will go up by 3, $3, and 3 to 21.99, $27.99, and 27.99 respectively."
"PlayStation did not specify where the rises would apply, but said they do not apply to current subscribers, except in Turkey or India, unless the existing subscription changes or lapses. PlayStation Plus gives users access to online multiplayer, monthly downloadable games, and exclusive PlayStation Store discounts. There are three tiers of subscription: Essential, Extra, and Premium. All have different pricing for monthly, three-month, and yearly options."
"PlayStation did not say whether there would be any price increases for the other subscription tiers or what might happen to the 12-month subscription. The BBC has contacted PlayStation for comment. PlayStation, which is owned by Sony, said in March the PlayStation 5's price would rise by 90 in the UK and by $100 in the US due to "continued pressures in the global economic landscape"."
"The video game industry has been hit with supply problems due to the US-Israel war with Iran and the price of memory chips has skyrocketed because of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. PlayStation's rival Nintendo also announced this month that it will hike the price of its Switch 2 console $449.99 to $499.99 in the US, and 469.99 to 499.99 in most European countries."
