Earlier this week, Sony announced that its PlayStation Plus subscription will see a price hike for new customers, citing “current market conditions.” According to official PlayStation communications, the entry‑level PS Plus Essential tier will rise from €8.99 per month to €9.99.
However, the initial statement was terse, leaving fans wondering about the impact on the higher tiers—PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium. The company has now clarified the full pricing structure on its official website.
The updated rates for all PlayStation Plus levels in euros are now publicly listed. While many tiers see a jump of several euros, subscribers who opt for a 12‑month plan will retain the previous price. Sony confirmed that these changes took effect on May 20, so new sign‑ups and those whose subscriptions have expired are already paying the revised rates.

I agree, a 1€ hike might seem minor but it’s still a 11% increase, and with the current market conditions, it might deter some price-sensitive users from subscribing to the Essential tier.
