In a post on the PlayStation Blog announcing the raised prices, Sony says that the decision was made due to impact by global market conditions. As is the case with the Latin American price hikes, these new prices across all regions will go live on April 16 onwards.
“Like many businesses around the world, we continue to be impacted by global market conditions and will be adjusting our local prices for PlayStation Plus,” wrote the company on the PS Blog. “This price adjustment will enable us to continue bringing high-quality games and value-added benefits to your PlayStation Plus subscription service.”
PlayStation users with ongoing subscriptions won’t have to worry about the new prices until their next billing cycle on or after June 24. Making changes to the subscription, however, will take the new prices into account.
