If you haven’t already gotten the email from Sony’s PlayStation service, prepare to. Earlier this afternoon in our inbox for Blast Away the Game Review, we were welcomed with the sight of the cost of PlayStation Plus starting this September, and sadly it places it on par with Xbox Live. Something that Sony had been known for combating against in order for their fans to enjoy their service, but also to enjoy their games.
So what did the lovely email we get say? Here’s the screenshot from the Blast Away the Game Review inbox.
For those enjoying the original costs, it’s unfortunate to see the price hike as PlayStation Plus was known for its affordability at $49.99 USD. Though we can only guess this means that the future console updates will be offering new content, better free games, and even more services in the future as VR games come to fruition starting this fall.
Will you be staying subscribed with the price jump or will you be cancelling your subscriptions? Let us know through the comments here on our website or our social media pages!

I will be deactivating auto-renewal. This isn’t the sort of thing you want to announce when people are complaining that the freebies have been poor.
It’s something that has honestly almost deterred me from renewing. One can only suspect it’s due to PS Now going onto PC’s and the cost of the servers needed to run it.
