Finding the cheapest PlayStation Plus deals isn't easy. 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 of the latest PS Plus games, too, from the monthly drops to the latest additions to the Premium game library.

At a time when Sony is increasing the cost of its hardware worldwide, 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 this month's PS Plus titles like Lords of the Fallen and Tomb Raider I-III Remastered on your PS5 without breaking the bank.

PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers provide access to the game catalog (with Premium offering everything from PS3 and back as well). Sony has yet to announce the full April PlayStation Plus line-up, but you can catch up and find everything that joined the game catalog in March 2026 down below:

  • Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 (PS5) 
  • EA Sports Madden NFL 26 (PS5) 
  • Persona 5 Royal (PS5 / PS4) 
  • Persona 5 Royal – Ultimate Edition (PS4) 
  • Blasphemous 2 (PS5 / PS4) 
  • Metal Eden (PS5) 
  • Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria (PS5) 
  • Astroneer (PS5 / PS4) 
  • Tekken Dark Resurrection (PS5 / PS4) 

PlayStation Plus tiers explained

The PS Plus subscription service looks entirely different to how it did just a couple of years ago. Rolling together PS Plus with PS Now, the service takes on a more rounded look and offers more in each of the three new tiers: PlayStation Plus Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra, and PlayStation Plus Premium.

So you know the difference between each of the different tiers, I've marked them and everything they offer down below.

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 2025?

Yes, on April 9, 2025, Sony announced on the official PlayStation Blog that the prices of PlayStation Plus would increase in Southeast Asia and other countries. The tech giant stated that the impact of "global market conditions" meant that the Essential, Extra, and Premium tiers would increase in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia, although North America was spared this round of price hikes.

These price changes went into effect on April 16, however, any current subscribers did not see any changes in their subscription prices until June 24.

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!)

If you're after more PS5 accessories, you'll find all the best PS5 headsets and best PS5 controllers listed right here.

Hardware Editor

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for GamesRadar+, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
