Sony has confirmed a price increase for its PlayStation Plus subscription service.
Effective May 20, new subscribers in select regions will pay higher prices for the one-month and three-month plans.
Prices have increased from $10 to $10.90, while the three-month subscription has increased from $25 to $27.99.
The cost increase will mainly affect the Essential subscription package, which is the basic subscription package needed to play online multiplayer games on PS4 and PS5 consoles.
Whether the other packages, such as the Extra and Premium packages, will see an increase is yet to be seen. Sony has not yet commented on this development.
Current subscribers do not have to pay more unless they upgrade their subscription level. However, subscribers in Turkey and India will see immediate increases regardless of their status.
Indeed, the growth comes just six months ahead of the scheduled launch of Grand Theft Auto VI, a game sure to bring millions of new players to the world of online gaming, all of whom require PlayStation Plus subscriptions to play GTA Online.
