The last price increase for PS Plus was in 2017, and prices across Europe and the UK increased by $10 for the yearly subscription. The three-month sub went up by $5, and the one-month sub by $1. No word yet on whether any subscription price increases are planned for North America.
Sony’s latest PS Plus sale for June will include Sonic Mania and Borderlands: The Handsome Collection. Their last PS Plus sale to include games from PS3 and PS Vita titles was back in February, which brings up concerns about the value of the service compared to the price increase.
The company’s Days of Play promotion will return this year from June 7th to June 17th.
