Sony has launched an exciting new discount on PlayStation Plus memberships for users in the US and select European countries. This offer is specifically for those whose memberships have expired or for new members looking to join the PlayStation Plus ecosystem. The promotion, which lasts until February 24, allows you to purchase either the Extra or Premium tiers at the same discounted rate of **$99.99** for a full year. This means you can snag a Premium membership, which includes everything in Extra plus access to classic games, game trials, and cloud streaming, at the same price as Extra.
This deal represents a 37% discount on the Premium tier, which normally costs $159.99, and a 25% discount on the Extra tier, usually priced at $134.99. If you're eligible, upgrading to Premium for the same price as Extra seems like the smart choice. Just remember to cancel the auto-renewal before the end of the 12-month period to avoid an unexpected price hike.
Unfortunately, this offer is not available to current subscribers, and cancelling your membership now to take advantage of the deal won't work. If your existing PS Plus plan is set to expire after February 24, you won't be able to benefit from this promotion. Additionally, the discount is only valid in North America and select European countries, excluding the UK and other regions. The Essential tier is also not included in this promotion, reflecting Sony's strategy to focus discounts on higher-tier memberships. However, Essential members can upgrade at a prorated cost.
This discount comes at an opportune time, just as February's PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup was announced during the recent State of Play. The lineup includes major titles like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, TopSpin 2K25, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 1. Premium members will also enjoy access to classic titles such as Patapon 3 and Dropship: United Peace Force.
