Sony is rolling out another strong PlayStation Plus discount, and this time the savings are even better than the deals many gamers saw during last year’s Black Friday promotions. If you skipped that earlier sale, the current Lunar New Year offer is a fresh chance to lock in a lower price on a full year of PlayStation Plus—especially if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your subscription tier.
The biggest price drop is on PlayStation Plus Premium. New subscribers can grab a 12-month Premium plan for $99.99, down from the usual $159.99. That’s a sizable discount, but it’s important to note that the promotion applies to the annual plan only. Monthly memberships aren’t included in this deal.
PlayStation Plus Extra is also discounted. A 12-month Extra subscription is currently available for $99.99 instead of $134.99, giving you 25% off the regular annual price. Meanwhile, PlayStation Plus Essential remains at its standard price during this promotion, so the main savings are clearly aimed at gamers who want the larger catalogs and added features of the higher tiers.
This sale isn’t limited to brand-new members, either. If you’re already subscribed, you may be able to upgrade at a discount. Current Essential or Extra members can upgrade to Premium with 35% off. And if you’re on Essential and want to step up to Extra, that upgrade is available with 25% off. The clock is ticking, though—the offer is scheduled to run until February 26, after which prices return to normal.
Not sure which PlayStation Plus tier makes the most sense? Here’s the simple breakdown. PlayStation Plus Extra is built around the Game Catalog, offering access to a large collection of downloadable games, plus the usual PlayStation Plus perks like monthly games, member-exclusive discounts, and access to Ubisoft+ Classics. PlayStation Plus Premium includes everything in Extra, then adds more value through the Classics Catalog, time-limited game trials, and cloud streaming for supported games.
If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to jump into PlayStation Plus Premium or Extra—or to upgrade without paying full price—this Lunar New Year discount is one of the better chances to do it, especially for anyone who prefers paying annually to maximize savings.
