PlayStation Plus Users Report 25% Discount After Turning Off Auto-Renewal
Some subscribers say a 12-month renewal offer appeared only after they disabled auto-renew — while others tried the same steps and saw nothing.
Some PlayStation Plus subscribers say they were offered a 25% discount on a 12-month subscription after switching off auto-renewal, according to reports compiled by ScreenRant. One Reddit user said the offer appeared only once auto-renew had been disabled in account settings.
Other users described similar discounts of 20% to 25%, either after cancelling auto-renewal or after letting an existing subscription lapse. The reported offers vary in size and timing from account to account.
The approach does not appear to be reliable. Some commenters who tried the same steps said they received no offer at all, and there is no indication that Sony has committed to a fixed discount for subscribers who disable renewal.
The offers also do not appear to be tied to Black Friday, the November shopping period when PlayStation Plus subscriptions have often been discounted in previous years.
Context
News of the reported offers comes after subscription prices for major console services rose in recent months.
