Gaming on the PlayStation 5 can be a lot of fun, but unless you have a big budget, buying games every month will quickly empty your wallet and bank account. Luckily, the PlayStation Plus subscription includes a couple of games, even at the lowest level, which is great. You also gain access to online play, which is necessary to play most games online, so it’s absolutely necessary if you plan to do that.
Deals on PS Plus subscriptions have been hard to come by since the service was redesigned last year, with Sony only offering direct discounts during major events like the Days of Play sale. It didn’t help when Sony increased the annual pricing in September, either.
Below, we’ve broken down how the new PS Plus subscriptions work, as well as the best ways to get signed up for less. We’ll continue to update this page as more deals and discounts come around, so be sure to check back often. For even more savings, you can take a look at our roundup of the best bargains on PlayStation games, gear and accessories.
