Sony is increasing the price of PlayStation Plus. The new rates for the premium gaming membership – which gives members special discounts, online play, and free games for the PS3, PS4, and PS Vita – begin September 22.
The yearly cost of PS Plus will now be $59.99 USD/$69.99 CAD (formerly $49.99 in both regions), as well as $24.99 USD/$29.99 CAD (formerly $17.99) for three months.
While the US will keep the current month-to-month rate of $9.99, Canadian players will have the price raised to $11.99 CAD/month.
“The new pricing reflects the current market conditions while enabling us to continue providing exceptional value to our members,” writes Sony in PlayStation’s official blog. This will be the first time Sony has raised the price of PS Plus in the US and Canada since its launch in 2010.
