Surely, many users with a Sony console have more than once encountered such a service as a PlayStation Plus subscription. However, not everyone knows its main functions. Today we will try to deal with this topic in more detail.
What kind of service is this?
A PlayStation Plus subscription is a paid offer distributed to the entire Sony family of consoles (without any exceptions). In addition, it is a multi-platform service, so buying one copy automatically activates it on all other systems.
Who needs this service? Of course, for all those who constantly play on the console, whether it is a stationary or portable version. PlayStation Plus for PS is for users who are interested in new games and prefer to buy them through the digital store.
Free and advantageous offers
Connecting to the PlayStation Plus subscription service offers its users strong savings and unique content that is closed to a regular audience. What does it mean?
Firstly, monthly โPlusโ gives its subscribers a set of free games. Each console receives two projects, which sometimes turn out to be multi-platform. Quite often, among such free games you can find several popular hits. For example, this month's Playstation Plus subscription for Playstation 4 gives users the latest โDeus Exโ and โBatmanโ from Telltale Studios, PS3 gets an exciting adventure called โBook of Unwritten Stories 2โ.
All received games remain active until the Plus ends.
Secondly, all subscribers of the service are invited to take advantage of attractive discounts. Very often, a bargain is hidden from the audience without a subscription and is available only to those who purchased it. Some bestsellers have discounts of thirty, or even forty percent.
Extra bonuses
Most people who buy a Sony PlayStation Plus subscription do so for free content. However, do not forget about other, no less advantageous offers.
- Access to cloud storage. The memory of each set-top box is limited to a certain number of gigabytes, so the additional storage simply cannot be superfluous. The online function allows you to transfer save files from one console to another.
- SharePlay. With this function, you can share the purchased game with your friends and enjoy the passage already together.
- Voting for new monthly titles. Plus subscribers can take part in the selection of the following games, which will become free.
- Multiplayer This option only works with a PlayStation Plus subscription for PS4, that is, on the latest generation console. This decision is considered by many to be controversial and undesirable, especially when you consider that initially the game on the network was available absolutely free. There are no multiplayer restrictions on the PS3 and PS Vita.
- Demos and beta versions of games. It's no secret that Plus subscribers get more exclusive content than regular users. Very often they are given special demos and beta versions that allow you to pre-test a particular product. Something comes out earlier, and something is given in the form of an exclusive.
How much is it?
Perhaps the most important issue that excites users who have not yet decided to purchase a subscription, but are already thinking about it. A few years ago, even before the change in Sony's pricing policy, buying an annual PlayStation Plus cost only a couple thousand rubles. Now the price has risen to four thousand rubles, which is two times the initial offer. Other changes were also affected by other subscriptions - one-month and three-month.
Does the โPlusโ offer profitable? Even with a higher price, a four thousand subscription can greatly save future expenses. Especially, as we mentioned earlier, it is beneficial for those who prefer to purchase games for a whole year. For a subscription, the user receives more than sixty games, the price of each of which exceeds a thousand rubles.
Have you decided? Next step: connect
Buying and activating a PlayStation Plus subscription is easy. And this is not surprising, because Sony has always been interested in attracting the largest possible audience.
To connect, you must perform the following steps:
- Select the PlayStationStore icon in the menu.
- Find Plus in the list of offers.
- Choose one of three subscription options and pay for it.
By the way, if the user has never used Plus, and this is his first time, then the PlayStation offers to try out a free trial version, which lasts fourteen days. We recommend that you do not miss this opportunity and first activate the two-week subscription, and only then go to the paid one.
PlayStationPlus can be paid in two ways: using a card or internal balance. The service also allows automatic renewal - in this case, if the subscription ends, then the necessary funds for its renewal will be debited from the user's account.
How to disable PlayStationPlus?
There can be many factors for unsubscribing: this is dissatisfaction with pricing policy, and lack of time, as a result of which there is no need for new games, and much more. How to disable this service?
Here, as in the case of connection, everything is also simple. If the user has refused automatic renewal at the connection stage, the subscription will terminate on its own. After that, it will be impossible to go into all the free games that were distributed on the โPlusโ.
If the automatic renewal function has been enabled, then the subscription is manually disabled. Otherwise, every month your card will lose a significant amount of money.
