Summary
Sony’s Black Friday 2024 discounts onPlayStation Plussubscriptions come with a big catch in that they are largely reserved for new members. Although a few users have reportedly encountered some exceptions, it would appear that the ongoing deals are mostly ignoring Sony’s loyal customers who already pay for aPS Plussubscription but aren’t willing to start spending more on it.
The 2024 iteration of Black Friday falls on November 29. As is now tradition, many major brands have launched their big sales at least a week ahead of the shopping holiday itself. This group includes Sony, whoseBlack Friday 2024 deals on PlayStation hardware and software have even partially leakedweeks in advance.
The full array ofSony’s Black Friday 2024 deals went live on November 22. Among other things, the ongoing sale includes discounts of “up to 30%” on 12-month PlayStation Plus memberships. But this particular set of offers seems to be exclusively available to people who aren’t already paying for Sony’s subscription service. As for existing members, Sony says that PS Plus users can save some money on the remainder of their subscription only if they upgrade to a higher tier. This discount is said to amount to 25% for upgrading from PS Plus Essential to PS Plus Extra, and 30% for going from PS Plus Extra to PS Plus Premium.
Some Users Are Seeing Better-Than-Advertised PS Plus Renewal Deals for Black Friday 2024
Be that as it may, a few PS Plus members have reported that they are also seeing some deals for renewing their subscriptions at either 20% or 25% off while staying on the same tier. This group includes Reddit user redbomb6, as well as severalpeople who commentedon the official announcement of Sony’s newly launched sale on the company’s blog. Since this offer isn’t advertised and many existing PS Plus members claim they don’t see it, it may come with severe geographic restrictions or have gone live by mistake.
