Deals from the last week or so have been especially kind to gamers who have a PS4 or PS5. Sony’s Days of Play sale event has discounted many games, and today there are price cuts on subscriptions that will help you get more enjoyment out of your console. At Newegg, a one-year subscription to PlayStation Plus is $44, down from Sony’s usual $60 price. It’s just one dollar more at Amazon, if you’d prefer to shop there. This service will allow you to play online multiplayer games, and it’ll make you eligible to download some complimentary games every month.
Another useful service that’s more affordable today is PlayStation Now, which is effectively Sony’s take on Xbox Game Pass. It lets you download some of the games in its library, while it resorts to cloud game streaming for others. That service is usually $60, but Amazon has it available for $45. One of the most appealing features of PS Now is that you can play on a PlayStation console, as well as on PC via an app.
PlayStation Now (one-year membership)
Subscribe to PlayStation Now to have instant access to games from the PS2, PS3, and PS4 generations. You can download some games and cloud stream others on your PS4, PS5, or PC.
