Sony has unveiled an exciting new discount on PlayStation Plus memberships for users in the US and select European countries. This promotion is a golden opportunity for those whose memberships have expired or for new members to join at a reduced rate. The offer, which lasts until February 24, features both the **Extra** and **Premium** tiers at the same attractive price of **$99.99** for a full year. This represents a 37% discount off the usual $159.99 for Premium and a 25% discount off the regular $134.99 for Extra.
When comparing the two, Premium stands out as the more comprehensive choice, including all the benefits of Extra plus access to classic games, game trials, and cloud streaming. Given that both tiers are priced the same during this promotion, opting for Premium seems like the smarter move. Just remember to cancel auto-renewal to avoid a higher bill after the promotional period ends.
Here's a quick breakdown of the deal:
- **PS Plus Premium** – 12-month subscription for **$99.99** (normally $159.99, a 37% discount)
- **PS Plus Extra** – 12-month subscription for **$99.99** (normally $134.99, a 25% discount)
It's important to note that this discount is exclusively for users with expired PlayStation Plus memberships. Active subscribers cannot stack this deal onto their existing plans, and canceling your current membership won't make you eligible either. If your current plan extends beyond February 24, unfortunately, you won't be able to take advantage of this offer.
Geographically, this promotion is limited to North America and specific European countries, excluding the UK and other regions. Additionally, the **Essential tier** is not part of this discount, aligning with Sony's trend of focusing promotions on higher-tier memberships. While Essential members can upgrade at a prorated cost, there's no direct discount available on 12-month Essential plans.
This deal coincides with the announcement of February's PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, which includes high-profile games like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, TopSpin 2K25, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 1. Premium members also gain access to classic titles such as Patapon 3 and Dropship: United Peace Force.
