PS Plus Sees a Significant Price Hike in Malaysia
Recently, we saw the global increase in pricing for 12-month subscriptions across PS Plus Essential, Extra, and Premium worldwide. Now, we have the official new prices for the Malaysian audience, including the Deluxe tier.
PS Plus Price Hike Malaysia
| 12-month Subscription Plan | New Price | Old Price | Price Hike |
|---|---|---|---|
| PS Plus Essential | RM235 | RM159 | 47.7% |
| PS Plus Extra | RM400 | RM269 | 48.7% |
| PS Plus Deluxe | RM460 | RM309 | 48.9% |
These price hikes are quite substantial, with an average increase of 48.4%. Opting for a 12-month subscription is still more cost-effective compared to a month-to-month payment plan. However, it’s undeniable that an almost 50% increase is significant.
Sony claims that the price hike is necessary to deliver higher-quality games and services to its customers. While the sudden spike in subscription costs may be a point of concern for some PlayStation users, it remains to be seen how these changes will impact the overall gaming experience and offerings from Sony’s PlayStation Plus service.
As the gaming community processes this news, Sony is likely to face questions about the reasoning behind these substantial price increases and how they intend to enhance the value of PlayStation Plus subscriptions for players in the future.
Pokdepinion: That is quite a big price increase but at the end of the day, I want to see where the extra money will be contributed to. Will we get better quality free games? Will we see an increase in the number of free games available every month? Or perhaps there is some new addition to the service that will make it all worthwhile? Only time will tell.
