CLASSIFIED LEAK — EYES ONLY

SOURCE: SONY INTERNAL CHANNEL
TIMESTAMP: 03:14 AM TOKYO TIME

*“The whispers are real. As of 72 hours from now, PlayStation Plus will undergo its most aggressive price restructure in a decade. Essential tier? +25%. Extra? +35%. Premium? Buckle up — nearly 50% increase.

But here’s what they’re not telling you: the real target is ‘Plus Premium’ users. Internal codename for the new tier? ‘Project Blackout.’ A rumored silent archival purge — dozens of legacy titles will be delisted alongside the hike. Why? To clear space for a rumored AI-curated, ads-supported cheap tier launching in Q4.

The official reasoning is ‘inflation and rising dev costs.’ Off the record? Sony’s bleeding from cloud gaming infrastructure costs and wants to force casuals into higher margins. The dead giveaway? The new pricing documents were scrapped and rewritten three times in the past week — someone at the top is panicking about backlash.

Watch for the press release to drop Monday morning. Then watch the forums burn.
