Select PlayStation gamers can get PS Plus up to 50% off the standard price. Not all PlayStation gamers qualify, but if you do, you can save a lot of money on PS Plus.
PlayStation Plus is available in different tiers with different options, such as the simple PS Plus Essential plan, which gives you access to online games and a free monthly game selection. Depending on the tier, players can spend anywhere from US$80 to US$160 per year on PS Plus, making it quite expensive for some. As a result, people are always looking for discounts on services, so now could be a good opportunity to give it a try and sign up.
Major PS Plus discounts available to subscribers
Now, many gamers have reported that if they try to cancel their PS Plus subscription, they are offered a significant discount on the service. The exact amount of the discount appears to vary from person to person, depending on whether the subscriber pays monthly, every three months, or annually. However, users in all three tiers of service received the offer. Annual subscribers appear to be offered discounts ranging from 25% to 33%, while those who pay monthly or every three months can get up to a 50% discount if they choose to continue their subscription. The discount period is based on the user's subscription; annual users receive the discount for the entire year, while 3-month and 1-month subscribers receive the discount for that period.

It's worth noting that not everyone who tried to quit PS Plus received this offer. While many have succeeded, some have gone through the process and not had any kind of temptation to stay. If you are curious about whether a discount is possible, it would be a good idea to go through the cancellation process until final confirmation and check to see if a discount is available before that. Worst case scenario, if you cancel outright and don't get the discount option, you can always resubscribe, so there's really no harm in checking it out. However, considering the recent price increase for PS Plus, some players may not want to stick with the standard price, regardless of whether they prefer the actual game.
These kinds of offers aren't unheard of for online subscription services, even outside of PlayStation, but some have suspected the generous discounts currently being offered due to PlayStation's recent controversies. PlayStation has announced that it will be discontinuing physical game discs, which are not performing well with a large portion of its player base. Some gamers canceled their PS Plus subscriptions in protest. However, it's unclear whether PlayStation is doing this intentionally to entice players to stick around in light of the recent announcement.
Some gamers believe this proposal means PlayStation Plus is seeing a surge in PS Plus cancellations in protest over its announcement that it will discontinue physical media. However, there are currently no official figures. We'll get better insight into this matter when PlayStation releases its quarterly investor reports for this period. But even a significant number of cancellations may not be enough to force Sony to change course, with physical game sales hitting year-ago lows and publishers earning higher profits from digital games.
