Sony new PlayStation Plus tiers

If you have aPS4orPS5,Sonyhas a festive offer onPS Plusthat could save you a lot of cash – provided you don’t currently subscribe to the service. The deal gives you PS Plus Essential, Extra or Premium for up to 50% off the usual annual price.

The discounted rates are:

If PS Plus doesn’t appeal, Sony is also discounting lots of games in itsPlayStationStore’s end of year promotion. The list of discounted titles is on the Sony bloghere, but you’ll need to move quickly: the discounts are only available until 21 December.

Is PS Plus worth it?

That’s a good question. If you want to play online multiplayer you need a PS Plus subscription, so on that basis it’s necessary. But the more premium tiers are all about the games library, and whether that appeals depends very much on what kind of gamer you are. I’m a subscriber to Premium and I think at full price it’s hard to justify, but it’s worth considering when it’s discounted.

That’s because Sony has taken a very different approach toMicrosoft. It wants to keep its highly profitable triple-A releases separate from its streaming, so while you can play the superbReturnaland Spider-Man: Miles Morales on the service the bulk of the content is older. That’s not to say there aren’t some brilliant games there. But for me, it often feels a bit like returning to somewhere you used to live and seeing that it isn’t as nice as you remember it.

If you’re considering a PS Plus subscription, I’d recommend checking outSony’s list of gamesfor the Extra and Premium tiers; the Essentials is basically just the old PS Plus with a couple of free games each month. If the games list gets you excited then Sony’s deals bring the price down considerably – but you’ll need to subscribe before 21 December, when the prices go back up again.
