The cheapest PlayStation Plus deals and membership prices in December 2024

The best PS Plus deals for 2020

PS Plus deals can score you additional discounts on your PlayStation subscription, but they can be difficult to find these days. Since Sony adopted a new tiered system, retailers have been unable to sell their own cards for specific programs. That means we're reliant upon the PS Store for new discounts - or PS wallet top up cards.

Generally speaking, gone are the days of discounted PS Plus sub codes and cards. We don't even see PS Plus included in PS5 bundles these days. Now we have a PS Store wallet-first system, so with that, it makes sense that PS Credit, wallet top-ups, or whatever you want to call them are your best bet.

We're keeping this page stacked with latest discounts on PS Store credit and any remaining deals we can find on PlayStation Plus subscription cards (of all lengths).

Today's best PlayStation Plus Wallet deals

As mentioned above, the best way to actually get the cheapest PS Plus sub is to now 'make your own' PS Plus deal. By this, we mean searching around for cheap deals on PlayStation Plus Wallet top up cards so that you can then spend on the PS Plus tier of your choosing. To help with that route, here are some of the latest and lowest prices around. You may just find that key-sellers like CDKeys can offer deals on Store cards.

PlayStation Store gift cards can also be used to pick up PS Plus, so if you don't have any luck with the dedicated wallet top up cards above they could come in handy.

PlayStation Plus tiers explained

The PS Plus subscription service looks entirely different to how it did just a couple of years ago. Rolling together PS Plus with PS Now, the new service takes on a more rounded look and offers more in each of the three new tiers: PlayStation Plus Essential, PlayStation Plus Extra, and PlayStation Plus Premium.

The Essential level will represent no change from the previous PS Plus subscription, but the Extra, and Premium tiers offer more and offer new features from streaming older games to getting free trials, and access to other catalogs of games. To give you some immediate insight into the new system before shopping for your next PlayStation Plus deal, check out this handy table that outlines the key differences.

Can you get PlayStation Plus cheap?

What with the new-look PlayStation Plus, it looks to be a bit harder than ever to get a really cheap PS Plus subscription or to save money with PS Plus card retailers. In fact, said cards for subscriptions seem to have disappeared almost entirely and there is a shift to wallet top-ups to then pay for your chosen tier rather than paying for it directly.

This means the best way to get PlayStation Plus cheap is to decide which tier is best for you and then, if your budget allows, go for a longer-term subscription. The 12-month subs of any tier will always offer you better bang for buck value.
