Sony are offering a hefty introductory discount on PlayStation Plus subscriptions for the next nine days, slashing 50% off the price of a 12-month subscription for new and returning customers.
The discount is available until 11:59PM GMT on 19th December 2021, cutting the cost from its regular price of £49.99 down to just £24.99. That’s even cheaper than the Black Friday price we had a couple weeks ago.
Simply head to this page on the PlayStation Store if you want to take advantage of the offer.
PlayStation Plus as a service is best known for the monthly games that are handed out to subscribers, but it’s also required for online multiplayer in premium games, and comes with other perks that include exclusive discounts on the playStation Store, some add-ons and packs for a selection of games, and 100GB of cloud storage so you can back up your save game files.
While there’s rumours that Sony are looking to change the service in a way to better take on Xbox Game Pass, that’s what it is in the here and now.
The highlight of each month is really finding out what games Sony is bundling in for subscribers. While the store page states that you’ll get 24 games over the course of the year, the start of the PS5 generation has seen them giving away three – one native to the PS5 and two for PS4 or cross-gen.
For December 2021 the PS Plus games lineup includes:
- Godfall Challenger Edition (PS5, PS4)
- Mortal Shell (PS4)
- LEGO DC Super-Villains (PS4)
Godfall Challenger Edition is a special late-game version of the action RPG that launched alongside the PlayStation 5 last year. There’s three game modes to try out and you’ll have access to some of the better loot through playing it. Alongside that, Mortal Shell is a great take on the Soulslike genre, while LEGO DC Super-Villains provides all the family friendly brick bashing that you could expect.
There’s also the continuing giveaway of three PlayStation VR games, celebrating 5 years of PSVR. Available until 3rd January are:

Da**, I just got an extension with the Black Friday discount. Cannot buy another extension with this, it just says ‘owned’.

If you have an active subscription, then you’re not eligible. This is only for new or returning/lapsed subscribers. So if you extended through the Black Friday discount, you got the best deal that Sony’s going to offer to you.

Oh, I didn’t get the ‘returning’ subscribers bit, thanks.
