Sony has announced that 15 Latin American countries will be seeing price hikes for PlayStation Plus subscriptions. As announced on the Latin American PlayStation Blog, all the prices for three tiers of subscription will be going higher.
The countries affected by these price hikes are Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay.
For a single month, PlayStation Plus Essentials will now be priced at $7.99, while PlayStation Plus Extra will be $11.99, and PlayStation Plus Deluxe will be $13.99. The three month plan will go up to $20.99 for Essential, $33.99 for Extra, and $39.99 for Deluxe. For a full year’s subscription, Essential will cost $64.99, Extra will cost $107.99, and Deluxe will cost $124.99.
“Like many companies around the world, we continue to be affected by global market conditions and will make an adjustment in local prices for PlayStation Plus,” wrote the company on the PlayStation Blog (translation via Firefox). “This price adjustment will allow us to continue offering high quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription.”
It is worth noting that these nice prices will only start affecting ongoing subscribers from June 24 onwards. Any changes in membership from April 16 onwards, however, will use the new prices. This includes upgrades, downgrades, or even extensions to the subscription.
The price hike was announced alongside the latest slate of games coming to PlayStation Plus. Headlining the subscription service from April 15 onwards are Hogwarts Legacy and PlateUp. EA Sports PGA Tour and Blue Prince are also part of the current slate of PlayStation Plus games for Extra and Premium subscribers.
