Your PlayStation Plus subscription just got more expensive — and here's what that means for your wallet.
Sony has quietly rolled out a price hike for PlayStation Plus, with annual plans for Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers increasing by roughly 20% to 35% depending on your region. For U.S. subscribers, that means the Essential plan jumps from $59.99 to $79.99 per year, while Premium soars from $119.99 to $159.99. If you're on a monthly plan, you'll also see a $1 to $2 increase per month starting now. The change affects both new and renewing members, so check your next billing date — your bank account is about to take a hit just for keeping online multiplayer access and those "free" monthly games.
