Sony confirms that fans will be able to get a discount on PlayStation Plus on Black Friday. PlayStation Plus transitioned into a three-tiered service earlier this year, with the Essential category being the same as the previous model. PS Plus Extra and Premium offer other bonuses including access to a massive catalog of PS4 and PS5 games without any extra charges.Many companies offer big discounts on video games and other electronic items during Black Friday sales. This includes offers on physical copies of games and special sales on the various digital storefronts. Sony holds a Black Friday sale every year, allowing users to take advantage of discounts on a massive selection of games. Now, Sony announces that users will be able to get PlayStation Plus for cheaper in just a few days. PlayStation confirms that gamers will get a 25% discount on PlayStation Plus starting November 18 as a part of its Black Friday sale. 1 year of PS Plus Essential costs $60, so fans can expect to get it for around $45. The sale may only include the Essential tier as it doesn’t specify if PS Plus Extra and Premium will also be available at a discounted rate. However, gamers can then upgrade to Extra or Premium for less than they otherwise would have had to pay.
This gives players a great opportunity to buy multiple years of PlayStation Plus at a discounted price. Judging by previous years, Sony will offer discounts on hundreds of games during its full Black Friday sale, but fans will have to wait for a few days to see the final list of prices. PS5 owners who don’t want to track these sales can add games to their wish list, and the console will notify them whenever these titles are available cheaper.
PlayStation Plus Essential subscribers get access get to online multiplayer and cloud saves in addition to around 3 games every month. Upon adding these games to their accounts, members can play them as long as they have an active subscription. Free PlayStation Plus games for November 2022 include Nioh 2, LEGO Harry Potter Collection, and Heavenly Bodies, so users who buy PS Plus during Black Friday can play these titles at no extra charge.
Essential functions differently from Extra and Premium, as they include a massive catalog of hundreds of games, but members lose access once that title leaves the service. PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium add 20 games in November 2022 including Kingdom Hearts 3, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - Special Edition, The Division 2, and Chorus among others.
