Running an online gaming service that delivers free games every month costs a lot of money – more than ever, it seems. And Sony is increasing the price of a PlayStation Plus subscription to reflect that.
The price of a subscription so far has been $49.99 since the service launched in 2010, staying that way when it became a required service for online play on PlayStation 4. Now, the price is jumping to $59.99 – the same price Microsoft has been charging for Xbox Live for years now.
