PS Plus cheaper by up to 35%. Sony tempts with an upgrade to Premium

Calendar 2/21/2026

Sony is once again following a tried-and-true scheme and encouraging players to upgrade to higher levels of PlayStation Plus. This time, the occasion is the Chinese New Year, and the promotion concerns the extension of an already active subscription. The offer is mainly aimed at Essential and Extra users who are considering an upgrade to Premium. Discounts can reach up to 35 per cent, although the final price depends on the individual account situation. The promotion is time-limited and will last until 26 February. This is one of the better opportunities in recent months to explore the full potential of the subscription.

Cheaper upgrade to PS Plus Premium

The promotion does not apply to the purchase of a new subscription from scratch, but to the extension of an already held package. If you have PS Plus Essential or Extra, you can upgrade to a higher tier with a significant discount. The system calculates the cost individually, taking into account the number of days remaining until the end of the current subscription. In practice, this means that the longer the period left on your account, the more you can save when upgrading to Premium. This is a good solution for people who want to "test" the top variant without paying the full annual price.

What does PS Plus Premium offer?

The highest tier provides access to an extensive library of games, including classic titles from earlier PlayStation generations. It also includes cloud streaming, trial versions of selected titles, and additional bonuses not available in lower tiers. For players who regularly use their console, Premium may realistically be more cost-effective than purchasing several games a year. Especially now, when the entry cost has significantly decreased.

The promotion will last until 26th February and is mainly aimed at current PS Plus subscribers. Discounts of up to 35 percent make it one of the more advantageous times to upgrade. If you have been considering switching to Premium, the financial risk is now considerably lower. After the campaign ends, prices will return to their standard level.
