First PS Plus, now this. PlayStation Store prices are going up in these countries

In honor of PlayStation Plus’s 15-year anniversary, Sony has made available a fresh trial edition for their subscribers.

In certain regions like Brazil and Turkey, Sony Interactive Entertainment has increased the costs of games and additional content on their digital PlayStation Store.

Here are some examples confirming the increase in Brazil (in Brazilian Real):

  1. The Outer Worlds 2 – R$399.90 › R$455.90
  2. Silent Hill f – R$349.90 › R$399.90
  3. Ninja Gaiden 4 – R$349.90 › R$399.90
  4. Hell is Us – R$299.90 › R$339.90
  5. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach – R$ 349.90 › R$ 399.90
  6. Astro Bot – R$299.90 › R$ 339.90

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that game prices in Brazil have risen earlier than anticipated, according to Gamevicio via VideoGamer. In an official statement, Sony attributes this decision to challenging market conditions, particularly currency fluctuations, and clarifies that regional pricing is adjusted based on the current economic climate.

Store prices are on the rise following recent hikes in the PlayStation Plus subscription costs, impacting nations such as Turkey, Canada, and Australia. Moreover, SIE’s CEO, Hideaki Nishino, announced that the company aims to further “optimize profitability,” hinting at the increasing demand for premium subscription plans.

This implies that we can expect more growth ahead, not just for the PS Store but also for PS Plus, potentially.
