PlayStation Plus: Costs and subscriptions at a glance

A PlayStation Plus membership is not mandatory. However, it is a prerequisite for you to be able to play online. In addition, you benefit from various discounts and advantages with this subscription. For example, a 100 GB cloud storage and various free games are available to you.

For online sessions with the PlayStation 4, you need a subscription to PlayStation Plus.

PlayStation Plus: Costs depend on duration

PlayStation Plus is a paid service from Sony for the PlayStation. This is especially important if you want to play with friends in online multiplayer. However, the service also offers you other advantages. For example, you can download up to 24 selected PS games every year at no additional cost and keep them for the duration of your membership. A 100 GB online storage and other discounts are also available.

• You can book the PlayStation Plus membership directly on PlayStation's website.
• Here, for example, you can get the service for one month for 8.99 euros. Note that the subscription renews automatically and you have to cancel it in time. However, you can end the subscription monthly.
• You can also order the membership for three or twelve months.

If you want to use the service throughout, the annual subscription is significantly cheaper. For this you are more flexible with the three-month model. This is an advantage for players who, for example, tend to play less in the summer. By the way, you can purchase the membership not only on the Sony site, but also in specialty stores or online retailers.
