With physical PS5 game releases soon becoming a thing of the past, there's never been a greater importance on finding the cheapest PlayStation Plus deals in 2026. Unfortunately, it's not an easy feat as the days of discounted PS Plus subcodes and cards are long gone, and PS Plus has only made a rare appearance among the best PS5 bundle deals over the last few years. Sony will occasionally drop savings on its PS Plus tiers during special holidays and big sales events, but these don't last long - and can be hard to hunt for if you don't know where to look.
To help you save what you can with PS Plus, we're keeping this topped up with the latest discounts on PS Store credit, PS Plus tiers, and any remaining deals we can find on PlayStation Plus subscription cards (of all lengths). And we'll even keep you in the know about the latest PS Plus games, too, from the monthly drops to the latest additions to the Premium game library.
At a time when Sony has increased the cost of some of its PS Plus tiers, which includes PlayStation Plus Essential going from $9.99 to $10.99 for one month, and from $24.99 to $27.99 for three months, and physical game discounts likely becoming a thing of the past, finding the cheapest deals is more important than ever. Hopefully, the savings we've discovered below can help you keep your gaming budget low, so you can play the latest Extra and Premium additions like Rise of the Ronin or Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind on your PS5 without breaking the bank.

PS Plus Deals FAQ
Is PS Plus Premium worth it?
Whether being a fully fledged PS Premium member is worth the price tag that comes with it, depends on what you want to play on your PS5. If you want to ensure you have access to everything PS Plus can offer - including the free monthly games, cloud streaming, games catalog, cloud streaming, the Ubisoft+ classics games, tips feature, exclusive discounts, and the classics and general PlayStation games catalog, then having a Premium membership is a must.
However, anyone okay with missing out on access to old-school classic PlayStation games of the classics catalog, game trials, and cloud streaming can stick with a PS Plus Extra subscription instead.

Did the PlayStation Plus tier prices go up in 2026?
Yes, on May 18, 20285, Sony announced on X (Twitter) that the prices of PlayStation Plus would increase in "select regions" starting May 20, 2026 for new customers. While current subscribers subscriptions remained unchanged, PlayStation Plus Essential one-month increased from $9.99 to $10.99, while three-months increased from $24.99 to $27.99.
Can you get PlayStation Plus cheap?
It can be a bit harder than ever to get a really cheap PS Plus subscription or to save money with PS Plus card retailers. In fact, said cards for subscriptions seem to have disappeared almost entirely and there is a shift to wallet top-ups to then pay for your chosen tier rather than paying for it directly.
This means the best way to get PlayStation Plus cheap is to decide which tier is best for you and then, if your budget allows, go for a longer-term subscription. The 12-month subs of any tier will always offer you better bang for buck value.
Does PlayStation Plus give you discounts?
If you're a member of any PlayStation Plus tier, you'll get access to exclusive discounts on digital purchases as one of your subscription benefits. This could mean extra cash off games on the PlayStation digital storefront, and even free to add extras to online games like Fortnite and Marvel Rivals.
If any digital game has an additional saving for PS Plus Premium members, you will see the PS Plus logo on the game's store page, along with a percentage of what saving you can make due to your PS Plus subscription. (Just be sure to double check any digital game you want to buy isn't already part of the PS Plus game catalog!)
