The cost of a PlayStation Plus subscription is set to increase in Australia and other global regions, from 16 April 2025. From that date, players can expect to pay a few more dollars per tier level, with this bump designed to account for the impact of “global market conditions.”
Over the last few years, the cost of a PlayStation Plus subscription has risen steadily, driven by inflation. For those who require a subscription for multiplayer, there’s really not an alternative choice – but for anyone using the service casually, to play from its catalogue of games or nab free monthly games, the bump might inspire a rethink.
At the very least, there is a grace period for those paying month-to-month. New subscribers will need to pay the slightly higher cost from 16 April 2025. For current subscribers (not a pre-paid plan), the price change will be implemented from the “next billing date that occurs on or after 24 June 2025.”
Notably, if you make any member ship changes like upgrades, downgrades, or adding more time to your subscription, the new price change will come into play.
