PS Plus will undergo an increase in all plans in Brazil, which will take effect from April 16. According to PlayStation Brasil, the change will be made because they have been "impacted by global market conditions".

When was the last time PS Plus price was increased here in Brazil? US Dolar in comparison with BRL increased its value by 30% give or take during last years

Nintendo's fault no doubt.

No, but it's exactly why Nintendo increased the prices of game software (first-party and third-party published) and Nintendo Switch Online this year in Brazil and the rest of Nintendo eShop-supported countries in Latin America:

Nintendo Switch Online is Getting More Expensive in Some Regions

The Nintendo Switch Online service is reportedly raising its prices across all membership tiers, though only in select regions.

Nintendo just increased their game prices across the board in Brazil (Up: entire Latin America, including other publishers)

BRASIL | Reajuste de Preço ⏫ Aumento no valor dos jogos digitais da Nintendo vendidos na eShop Novos valores: ❌ R$ 249 ➡︎ ✅ R$ 299 ❌ R$ 299 ➡︎ ✅ R$ 349 ❌ R$ 357 ➡︎ ✅ R$ 399 Novo valor para o Voucher: ❌ R$ 500 ➡︎ ✅ R$ 579 So +R$~50 to every tier ($50, $60 and $70 dollar games) and +R$40 for...

last year

 

[Codes 208]

Comparatively, PS+ essential is $80 in the US

Even with the price hike they're still paying less than us.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I've never noticed the look the woman in the background before…

 

[AJUMP23]

Tarrif'd.

I feel bad Sony is not making more money from Brazil.

 

[adamsapple]

Yeah, but the people there are earning a lot less than us too. Hence the regional pricing in the first place.

 

[Clear]

I'd care if I was keeping up with economics in Brazil... But I'm not, so <shrug>.

 

[Insane Metal]

Absolutely nuts. That's one of the reasons I sold my PS5. Had to renew PS+ and it was almost 500 bucks. No thanks.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

Why do you reject flexible prices, guys. Flexibility is cool. Adapt to the environment, be resilient.

 

[MacReady13]

Is this because Nintendo has decided to charge $80 USD for Mario Kart World?

 

[Bernardougf]

Sony needed this. Nintendo has been hogging the spotlight.

Why did you HAVE to renew PS+? Just have it without that sub service...

Sure thing, the article I saw only mentioned Brazil at first, will edit it into the OP.

 

[Bernardougf]

Cant see they doing this just for LA... other regions will follow

 

[Banjo64]

Now that I have to defend price increases my response to this news is 'good'.

 

[Bernardougf]

Men_in_Boxes defending higher prices for games the day the psplus goes UP ... this cant be a coincidence

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

That will show them commies. Srsly i'm expecting massive price hikes globally across everything in the coming years.

 

[demigod]

How are you paying almost 500 bucks? And you can play games without a sub.

 

[Bernardougf]

Thats 500 bucks in Reals not dollars... and yeah.. I cancelled ps plus a long time ago.. no regrets... I just wait for promos and buy whatever I want for reasonable prices.

 

[Sebastian1295]

I went off about nintendo and there ridiculous price increases and now I will go off about playstation as well. This is corporate greed and probably if i had to guess, playstation are trying to get every penny possible from back there failed live service investments and so this is one of the ways they're trying to do it.

Its a failed model createad to counter gamepass ... all it did was UP ps plus prices and will eventually fade into oblivion... thank MS for this shitty unsustainable idea.

 

[Generic]

This shit is simply not affordable anymore. Barely any new games and Playstation Premium especially is extremely barebones for its price.

Also I bet Sony still won't allow current subs to buy a Black Friday discount.

But they don't have american pay checks.

September 2023. It took them only one and half year to increase it again, it's ridiculous.

Edit: the dolar now is on par with 2020-2021 (pandemic era) and despite that PS+ was much cheaper back then.

The average wage in Brazil is $600 a month.

close to $560 at current dollar prices. To be more exact

I was literally just talking about Ps+ with some friends yesterday.
We were saying something like "The console is expensive as fuck and the games are expensive as fuck here but at least Ps+ is substantially cheaper".

And of course Sony is like:

 

[Lokaum D+]

Tô de boa de console.

I m done with consoles.

 

[LakeOf9]

Everyone blaming Nintendo, imma pull a swerve, this is Microsoft's fault

we all know sega is to blame.

 

[EN250]

sonofabitch, bet all that money is going to some bitch ass gaas trash that no one will ever buy, FU Sony, as if PS Tiers in Latam aren't trash because most of the cool shit never gets here, thx a lot!

What isn't available in LATAM outside of cloud streaming and PS3 games (inherent to cloud streaming)?

I was saving money for my PS+ renew. Then Sony added 5 extra days to my sub (RIP Black Friday discount) and now this.

Tô de boa de console.

I m done with consoles.

With Epic (still) giving free games and Prime Gaming being much cheaper than PS+ it's hard to justify what Sony is doing.

But at the same time PCs are even more expensive than a console...

It's just SO over In a few years I will be only playing old games, f2p and emulators in a shitty computer. I will return to my early 2000's days...

 

[Insane Metal]

I subbed to be able to play the stuff that's available. A single game here is also 300-500 bucks (reais) so having a catalog kinda like gamepass makes a lot of difference for us. Also to play stuff online.

 

[Goalus]

Take Two for sure when GTA6 is released.

Even to have cloud saves a PS+ sub is necessary. It's awful.

PC is more expansive ? really ?

i have friends that have all 3 system and they say that PC is expensive, for the price of this 3 system you can build a pretty good PC over here.

on the long run its way cheaper, you have BC with all games, can emulate almost everything, u can download "demo" from almost every game, free online features, Steam sales and i could go on and on, nowaday i think PC is the best investment if you wanna game.

u just build an emulate machine with old parts that i had here, I5 3570K+GTX750+16GBRAM to use on my living room, it can even run Switch and this PC ll cost less than R$1000 to build.

You can even run TW3 in this trash machine XD
