The Black Friday deals are now live for PlayStation. And once again Sony dropped the price of 12 months of PlayStation Plus to $39.99 for the duration of the sales event. You can get a year’s subscription to PS Plus for $39.99 at pretty much any retailer (see it on Amazon). This is a great deal for just about anyone with a PS4 or PS5, since it saves you $20 off the normal price.
New subscribers can take advantage of the deal, of course, but so can current PS Plus members. All you have to do is redeem the digital code to add 12 months onto your existing membership. It’s a win-win.
PlayStation Plus Black Friday Deal
If you’re new to PlayStation or just new to the online service, you may be wondering just what you get for your money. The main thing a PS Plus subscription gets you is access to online multiplayer games, including the ability to play with friends.
To sweeten the deal, Sony gives away a handful of PS4 and PS5 games each month to PS Plus members. As long as you add them to your account each month, you can keep and play them for as long as your subscription lasts. You also get cloud storage for your saves, which comes in particularly handy if you upgrade your console or need to switch over to a new one.
Additionally, Sony often runs sales on the PlayStation Store that offer exclusive or additional discounts for PS Plus members. So if you buy digital PlayStation games, a PlayStation Plus membership can pay for itself.
And if you have a PS5, you’ll get additional features with PS Plus. These include game help in supported games, as well as access to the PlayStation Plus Collection. The latter is a batch of many of the best games from the PS4 era, including God of War (2018), Uncharted 4, The Last of Us, Days Gone, plus a number of third-party titles.
All in all, PS Plus is one of the best deals in gaming, and basically a must-have service for anyone who regularly plays on PS4 and PS5. Between the free monthly games and extra savings during PlayStation Store sales, it really does pay for itself. It’s a great deal at the usual MSRP of $59.99. It’s an even better deal at $39.99. The offer ends November 29, so grab it before it’s gone.
