Sony appears to be offering discounted PS Plus<\/a> subscriptions to users cancelling their membership in protest.<\/p>\n

While this is likely an automated system \u2013 and appears to be distributed on a case-by-case basis \u2013 several users on Reddit<\/a> have reported receiving the offers after attempting to quit the service, as spotted by PSLS<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many feel that the best way to \u201cattack\u201d the platform holder after its decision to cease manufacturing physical games<\/a> is to stop spending money, and so some have been cancelling their PS Plus in protest.<\/p>\n

But as mentioned above, some have received discounts of up to 50% if they stay.<\/p>\n

50% off 3 months ps plus extra when you try to cancel your subscription.<\/a>

To be fair, this is a common tactic employed by subscriptions to keep users engaged \u2013 I\u2019ve seen similar things on Patreon over the years, where attempting to cancel nets you a discounted month or two.<\/p>\n

In this case, selected users cancelling annual subscriptions appear to be eligible for a discount of anywhere from 25% up to 33%. Meanwhile, three-month memberships are getting offers of up to 50% off.<\/p>\n

Deals for existing PS Plus subscriptions are scarce, because Sony tends to favour new or lapsed members with promotions like its Days of Play<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Obviously if you are protesting, then you probably shouldn\u2019t take advantage of these deals anyway, as it\u2019s still going to result in you giving money to PlayStation.<\/p>\n

But if your subscription is due to lapse and you\u2019re looking for a cheaper way to renew, it might be worth attempting to cancel first, and seeing if you get offered one of these deals to stick around.<\/p>\n
