PlayStation Gamers Score Rare PS Plus Discount This Black Friday – But Not Everyone is Eligible

New Subscribers Can Save Up to a Third on a 12-Month Membership

PlayStation gamers are in for a treat this Black Friday as they have the opportunity to get their hands on a PS Plus membership at a fraction of the cost. Between November 17 and 27, new subscribers can save up to a third on a 12-month membership, which is usually priced at £59.99. However, not everyone is eligible for this exciting deal.

Existing Members Miss Out on Black Friday Offer

While many PlayStation users are disappointed to be missing out on the Black Friday deal, some money-savvy players have pointed out that there is likely to be a similar sale in the future. Unfortunately, current members are unable to take advantage of the PS Plus Black Friday offer. This has caused frustration for some customers who were hoping to extend their membership at a discounted rate. "I'm so gutted by this, promo runs from 17-27th my subscription expires on the 28th," one gamer expressed on HotUKDeals. "That's just cruel."

Existing Subscribers Can Still Save

Although current members cannot benefit from the Black Friday offer, they can still save money by upgrading their current plan to PS Plus Extra. By doing so, they can save 25% on their subscription. Additionally, they have the option to save a third when upgrading to the Premium/Deluxe tiers. These upgraded plans come with added benefits, such as access to hundreds of PS4 and PS5 games through the Game and Classics Catalogues. Popular titles like Horizon Forbidden West, Ghostwire: Tokyo, and Sea of Stars are included. Furthermore, PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe members gain access to the Sony Pictures Catalogue, which offers over 100 movies to stream on demand. This includes the latest Spider-Man film and the Uncharted film, both based on the popular PlayStation game series.

Another Sale to Follow

While some gamers are disappointed to miss out on the Black Friday deal, many have noted that there is likely to be another sale in December. "There'll be another sale in December, just catch that one but do it early as poss so that you don't get hit by the same thing next year," one player advised. Another player added that the December/January sale has actually been "cheaper than Black Friday for the last two years". So, if you've missed out on the Black Friday offer, there's still a chance to grab a great deal in the near future.

In any case, most PlayStation users are simply relieved to avoid the recent price hikes. Whether they're able to take advantage of the Black Friday offer or not, gamers are looking forward to enjoying their favorite games at a more affordable price.
