The discounts appear to vary for each player, with no clear pattern in the amount of discount or a subscription period. Thus, another report states that PS Plus offered a 25% discount for 12 months; however, some users on Reddit share that they didn’t get a discount when trying to cancel at all.
Such a policy likely comes after Sony received backlash and cancellation attempts following their decision to cancel physical disc production, switching to digital releases only, though Sony has not officially confirmed this connection. The company’s first public comment after the controversial disc announcement is about Sony’s arcade controller. “Switch out lever gates with ease on the FlexStrike wireless fight stick,” the company wrote.
