PlayStation Plus is Sony's subscription service that gives members free games, perks, and access to online play for a set amount per month. It was overhauled last summer and split into tiers with different prices and benefits, so if you've yet to sign up, or are wondering if the tier you're in is right for you, we've got all the info you need to decide right here.
PS Plus went from a straightforward monthly membership with a flat fee, to a refreshed, three-tiered service for PS4 and PS5. At first glance, it all looks a little confusing, but basically, Sony scrapped its PS Now game streaming service, folding it into the new-and-improved PS Plus, and added an extensive back catalogue of games including titles from the PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP.
Existing subscribers of both were thrown into one of the three tiers, with the revamped offerings pretty much matching what they'd already been paying for. But while the price is the same, there may be freebies you're missing out on, perks you're passing up, or other member benefits you're not aware of that would prompt you to cough up that little bit extra every month – if only you knew about them. So let's dive in and get you on tier that's right for you.
