#PS Plus Price Increase Hits Another Country, Canada Forced to Pay More
PS Plus Price Increase Hits Another Country, Canada Forced to Pay More
Update #2 []: As time passes, more and PS Plus price hikes are being confirmed worldwide. We now know PS Plus members in Canada will also be hit with a cost increase. Here are the new prices for a 12-month subscription:
- PS Plus Essential
- $109.99 CAD
- PS Plus Extra
- $189.99 CAD
- PS Plus Premium
- $224.99 CAD
Update #1 []: It’s not just South America that will be subject to PS Plus price increases, as now Sony’s announced hikes in Australia as well.
The changes are as follows:
PS Plus Essential
- 1 month
- $12.95 AUD (previously $11.95 AUD)
- 3 months
- $35.95 AUD (previously $33.95 AUD)
- 12 months
- $102.95 AUD (previously $95.95 AUD)
PS Plus Extra
- 1 month
- $20.95 AUD (previously $18.95 AUD)
- 3 months
- $59.95 AUD (previously $54.95 AUD)
- 12 months
- $187.95 AUD (previously $169.95 AUD)
PS Plus Deluxe
- 1 month
- $23.95 AUD (previously $21.95 AUD)
- 3 months
- $70.95 AUD (previously $63.95 AUD)
- 12 months
- $214.95 AUD (previously $196.95 AUD)
A substantial increase, then, but it’s worth noting that on current exchange rates, $214.95 AUD is about $133.20 USD, which is less than Americans pay for PS Plus Premium annually.
Of course, we understand other economic factors are at play here, and it’s missing the cloud streaming feature available in other parts of the world.
We’d also like to point out that many Asian countries, including Hong Kong, China, and Taiwan, will also be hit by the price increases as well.
The changes will go into effect from 16th April.
Original Story: The price of a PS Plus subscription across all tiers will be increasing on 16th April 2025 in 15 Latin American countries, Sony has today announced. The countries affected are as follows:
- Argentina
- Bolivia
- Chile
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- Ecuador
- El Salvador
- Guatemala
- Honduras
- Mexico

Sony explained the increases are a result of “global market conditions”. By increasing the prices, it says it can “continue offering high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription”.
The price hike applies to all new users in the 15 nations, and current members will have to start paying the new costs at the start of their next billing date. The updated prices look like this:
