Sony has announced a PS Plus price increase in more countries, resulting in backlash. The hike applies to all three tiers — Essential, Extra, and Deluxe — in Australia, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia.
EU and US marked safe from PS Plus price increase… for now
A day ago, Sony announced a PS Plus price hike in 15 Latin American countries. Although Japan, European countries, and North America seem safe for now, today’s news has everyone else bracing themselves.
Players who were delivered the update earlier are particularly upset because the affected countries get the inferior version of the Premium tier with no access to PS3 classics or game streaming.
The new pricing structure is as follows:
Australia
Essential:
1 month: $12.95 AUD
3 months: $35.95 AUD
12 months: $102.95 AUD
Extra:
1 month: $20.95 AUD
3 months: $59.95 AUD
12 months: $187.95 AUD
Deluxe:
1 month: $23.95 AUD
3 months: $70.95 AUD
12 months: $214.95 AUD
South Korea
