Sony has introduced an exciting PlayStation Plus discount for users in the US and select European countries, offering a golden opportunity for those with expired memberships or new members to subscribe at a steep discount. The promotion, available until February 24, features an intriguing pricing strategy where both the **Extra and Premium tiers** are priced at the same rate: **$99.99 for a full year**.
Given that the Premium tier encompasses everything in the Extra tier, along with additional perks like classic games, game trials, and cloud streaming, it's a no-brainer for eligible users to opt for the Premium subscription. This choice becomes even more appealing when you consider that you can avoid a higher bill at the end of the promotional period by canceling the auto-renewal. Remember, the Premium 12-month subscription usually costs $159.99, which means you're getting a 37% discount, while the Extra tier, typically priced at $134.99, comes with a 25% discount.
This discount is exclusively for users whose PlayStation Plus memberships have **expired**. If you're currently an active subscriber, you won't be able to stack this deal onto your existing plan. And a quick note: cancelling your membership now to take advantage of the deal won't work if your current plan extends beyond the offer's end date of February 24.
The offer is limited to **North America and select European countries**, excluding the UK and other regions. Unfortunately, the **Essential tier** is not part of this promotion, reflecting Sony's ongoing focus on offering discounts for its higher-tier memberships. While Essential members can upgrade at a prorated cost, there's no direct discount on 12-month Essential plans.
The timing of this deal aligns perfectly with the unveiling of February's PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, showcased during the recent State of Play. The lineup boasts major titles such as Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, TopSpin 2K25, and Lost Records: Bloom & Rage – Tape 1. Additionally, Premium members will have access to classic titles like Patapon 3 and Dropship: United Peace Force.
