Sony has said that the reason for the price rises means so it can “continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service”.
It has even led some people to claim they are going to cancel their PS Plus memberships.
According to GamerRant, Reddit user named Certified_human1 has made a post that highlights the process of canceling a PS Plus subscription.
Many users in the comments section claim to have canceled their PlayStation Plus memberships as a result of the price increase.
One user mentions that they wanted to downgrade to the Essential tier, as they already have a huge backlog of games they want to play, but they are going to cancel the subscription altogether as a result of this increase.
