The price change will take place on August 31st!
[dropcap size=small]O[/dropcap]n Friday, Sony announced that they will be increasing the price for Playstation Plus accounts in Europe.
Sony says that they will automatically alter the price of their online subscription on August 31st. But if the subscription is bought before the price change, it will be for the current price.
Sony didn’t give a reason for the price change for the abrupt price increase. A Sony Representative issued the following statement regarding the price increase:
“Starting at 12:01AM BST on 31st August, 2017, prices for PlayStation Plus memberships in the SIEE region will change to £49.99/€59.99 for 12 months, £19.99/€24.99 for three months and £6.99/€7.99 for one month. For current members, the new prices will take effect when their memberships renew on or after this date. Membership will continue to include online multiplayer, two PS4 games every month, new PlayLink social party game That’s You! as a bonus game until 25th October, exclusive discounts, and 10GB online storage for game saves.
“We are changing the pricing to reflect various market conditions while enabling us to continue providing exceptional value to our members.”
Hopefully, there is an official statement specifically on why Sony has increased the membership price of a certain region.
