PS Plus Subscribers Up Year-Over-Year, Nearing 50 Million

Up? Weird. Internet people told me they were down because of how bad ps+ games were lately. Following their logic, quality of ps+ games must have greatly improved.

People always whine and complain about the offerings on PS Plus- but it really is a great service. So far this year we've gotten:

-Shadow of the Tomb Raider
-Control: Ultimate Edition
-Final Fantasy VII Remake
-Days Gone
-Battlefield V
-Star Wars: Squadrons
-Black Ops 4
-Hitman 2
-Mortal Kombat X

And many, many more games.

On top of that - I've saved hundreds - if not thousands of dollars over the years with PS Plus discounts on games throughout the year.

The service really pays for itself - and is without a doubt far superior to Xbox's counterpart Xbox Live.

Now if only Sony would revamp PSNow to include PS5 games, as well as additional first party content. I'm not expecting them to released day in date like Microsoft does - but I think they can do better.

It would be really cool if they gave us a bundle of both services, or added a couple of PSNow rental games each month to the PS Plus offerings somehow.

Almost the time of year that I renew my subscription. Black Friday

So much cheaper then and no better time to do it

Think I'm still good until Dec 2023. The Black Friday sales, especially on sites like Shop To, where you can get 12 months for just over £30 makes it a no brainer to PSN veterans like myself to stack the subs keeping us as active users.

Add to that new users coming to the PS4 & PS5 and I'd be surprised to not see an increase.

Yes, there have been some absolute stinker PS+ titles of late, especially on the PS4, but overall I was using it for online play.

@naruball methinks most of the truly sensible people are busy actually playing the games rather than using that free time to feel entitled to better and complain about it on the internet

I'd understand if the games we're being offered weren't good value for money, but if you're sensible about when you renew a PS Sub is about £3 a month. Anyone who doesn't think the games have been easily worth more than £3 a month this year is out of their minds.

That isn't to say the games have to appeal to everyone - but they're not so bad that they're worth less than that. If someone genuinely found this year that no games appealed to them at all on the service, they're just too picky for PS Plus (or, they just go and buy all the games they're interested in so there's no possible game that would be good enough for them to claim)

@danlk1ng Indeed and the amount off sales and money off from psplus like somebody said above is worth it in itself.

I buy PS-Plus by the year! I look at its value by the year. I have done so from the start 2 months after launch on PS3. There are many months I don't care for the games offered. But at the end of the year I am always happy and the value is more then what I paid.

Judging by the way a lot of people react to the PS Plus reveals on here each month, you'd figure there would only be a handful of PS Plus subscribers left.

The service doesn't get enough praise imo. You really can't complain about what they have offered over the last couple of years. And that is coming from someone who barely ever makes use of it apart from online play.

Wheres the trolls who said numbers were falling 😂

Just imagine, all exclusives day one on PS Now, i would subscribe immediately.

Shame the free games are 💩💩💩99% of the time it feels we get ripped off being over 4billion a month is taken from us just on ps subscription for what ,to play with mate and 💩 poooo games which you no interest in
