The PlayStation seems to be worried about users leaving. Amid recent rumors of abandoning physical carriers by 2028 and widespread fan discontent, the company began offering personal discounts to those trying to cancel their PS Plus subscription.
Players report that if they attempt to opt out of the service, the system suddenly offers to extend it on concessionary terms. The size of the bonus varies: some people are offered a 50% discount for three months, and some people are offered a 25% discount on their annual Essential plan.
However, the stock has a nuance: the discount is valid only if advance payment is made. You cannot "book" the future price - renewal must be paid immediately.
It is unclear how Sony selects the lucky ones: the offer is not available to everyone and may depend on the region or account activity. Whether this is a response to community protests or a standard marketing tactic of customer retention is an open question. Have you encountered similar suggestions when trying to unsubscribe?
