"PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium Now $99.99/Year for New, Expired Members"

Author : Mia Apr 18,2025

Sony has unveiled an exciting new discount for PlayStation Plus members in the US and select European countries, offering a golden opportunity for those with expired memberships or new subscribers to join at a reduced rate. This promotion, running until February 24, allows you to subscribe to either the **Extra** or **Premium** tier for a full year at the same price: **$99.99**. Given that Premium includes all the benefits of Extra—plus access to classic games, game trials, and cloud streaming—it's a no-brainer to opt for Premium if you're eligible. Just remember to disable auto-renewal to avoid a higher bill after the promotional period ends.

Here's the breakdown of the discounts:

  • PS Plus Premium – 12-month subscription for $99.99 (usually $159.99, a 37% discount)
  • PS Plus Extra – 12-month subscription for $99.99 (usually $134.99, a 25% discount)

It's important to note that this offer is exclusive to users whose PlayStation Plus memberships have expired. Active subscribers won't be able to stack this deal onto their existing plans, and cancelling your membership now won't make you eligible. If your current PS Plus plan is set to expire after February 24, unfortunately, you won't be able to take advantage of this promotion.

This discount is available only in North America and select European countries, with the UK and some other regions left out. Additionally, the **Essential tier** is not included in this promotion, aligning with Sony's trend of focusing discounts on higher-tier memberships. While Essential members can upgrade at a prorated cost, there's no direct discount on 12-month Essential plans.

This deal coincides with the announcement of February's PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, featuring major titles like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, TopSpin 2K25, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 1. Premium members also gain access to new classic titles such as Patapon 3 and Dropship: United Peace Force.

PlayStation Plus Premium is down to $99.99 for 12-months until February 24.
