PlayStation Plus to Raise Monthly Subscription Fee
- Starting May 20, Sony will increase PlayStation Plus prices for new customers, citing 'ongoing market conditions' for changes affecting the Plus Essential tier.

- Monthly rates for Plus Essential will rise to $11, while the 3-month subscription increases from $25 to $27, impacting the service used for online multiplayer gaming.
- Current subscribers retain existing rates, except in Turkey and India, unless their subscription plan lapses or changes, Sony confirms.
- Nintendo recently admitted it must raise the price of the Switch 2, as console manufacturers increasingly target subscriptions to sustain profits amid ongoing memory crises.
