PlayStation Plus has just hit hard with an offer that makes many people think. Sony’s flagship subscription service, essential for many PS5 players, is offered at a knockdown price… but not for everyone. A 33% reduction is available on the most comprehensive plan, called Deluxe in certain countries, provided you meet a very specific condition: not having an active subscription.
Enough to annoy those whose subscription ends after the sales period. However, a simple trick would get around the problem. According to user testimonials, the promotional offer reappears after manually canceling your current subscription, even if there are still several weeks remaining.
PS Plus Deluxe or Premium at a reduced price: how does it work?
The Deluxe version of PlayStation Plus is identical to the Premium version, except that it excludes PS3 cloud gaming in regions where this service is not supported. Concretely, you have access to the complete catalog of games, early trials, and PlayStation classics for a much more reasonable sum than usual.
The annual subscription is priced at $144, or 33% off the usual price. A great saving for those who plan to enjoy the PS5 in the long term.
But be careful: if you are already a subscriber, you will not see this reduction displayed. Your subscription must be expired or imminently expiring. The ideal is therefore to cancel now and wait for the expiry date to trigger the offer.
A good deal not to be missed
With recent and highly anticipated titles already included in the catalog, such as Alan Wake 2, Silent Hill 2 or Yakuza: Like a Dragon, PlayStation Plus further strengthens its appeal. The monthly rotation of games appeals to an ever-widening audience, and this unexpected reduction could convince those who were still hesitant to take the step towards a high-end formula.
The trick is simple: if your subscription is active but nearing the end, consider canceling it today. The promotion should appear in your interface once your account is considered inactive. A risk-free maneuver, as long as you keep an eye on the end date.
