If you were on the fence about buying PS Plus, you’re best grabbing a year now before September 6. That way you’ll get it for up to $40 cheaper depending on which tier you buy. Of course, this time next year the price will be higher, but that’s next year’s problem.
Only as recently as in June of this year,Xbox also increased the price of its own subscription service, Game Pass. As of July 6, the standard tier went up from $9.99 to $10.99 per month, while the Ultimate version increased from $14.99 to $16.99 per month. Xbox head of communications Kari Perez said that the company “adjusted the prices to reflect the competitive conditions in each market”. Not long after,it axed the 14-day trial… just before Starfield’s launch. That means you can’t pay $1 for two weeks of Game Pass if it’s your first time trying the service anymore. It’s getting less and less affordable out there, eh?
