Sony will reportedly offer 25% off PlayStation Plus subscriptions for Black Friday

Customers looking to pick up a new PlayStation Plus subscription should probably hold out until later this month, when Sony is expected to offer a significant discount on memberships.

According to Dealabs user billbil-kun, who has been accurately leaking the PlayStation Plus line-ups almost every month since September 2021, all subscription tiers will be discounted by 25% in a Black Friday promotion.

Running from November 18-28 (Black Friday itself is on the 25th), the offer will reportedly see 12-month PlayStation Plus subscriptions available for the following prices:

• PlayStation Plus Essential – $44.99 / €44.99 / £37.49 (normally $59.99 / €59.99 / £49.99)
• PlayStation Plus Extra – $74.99 / €74.99 / £62.99 (normally $99.99 / €99.99 / £83.99)
• PlayStation Plus Premium – $89.99 / €89.99 / £74.99 (normally $119.99 / €119.99 / £99.99)

If accurate, the promotion will mark the first official PlayStation Plus discount offered by Sony since the service underwent a revamp in early June, which is when it introduced its current three tier structure.

Since then, the number of PlayStation Plus subscribers has dropped by nearly two million, a decline Sony has blamed on declining third-party game and PS4 sales as well as more people going outdoors.

November’s PlayStation Plus Essential games are Nioh 2 (PS4 / PS5), Heavenly Bodies (PS5 / PS4) and Lego Harry Potter Collection (PS4).
