Best PlayStation Plus Deals: Save on Essential, Plus and Premium
Best PS Plus deals

If you have a PlayStation 5 or any of the previous generations, like the PlayStation 4, then you probably know that to get access to online multiplayer, you'll need to grab yourself a specific subscription. That's because Sony, like most of the other console developers, has locked it behind a membership plan that is required for any online access. Luckily, the price isn't too bad, and even the lowest tier of PS Plus offers some additional benefits, such as monthly free games that you can download. While it's not perfect when compared to something like gaming PCs where there's no additional cost, some of the higher-end PS Plus subscriptions offer quite a lot of perks.

Also, while you're here, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 game deals and PlayStation deals that include some great games and accessories you can get for a great price.
What is PlayStation Plus?
Along with online multiplayer and other in-game network features, a PlayStation Plus Essential membership grants you access to exclusive discounts and other promotions. Perhaps the most notable benefit of PlayStation Plus is that every month, Sony gives subscribers one PlayStation 5 and two PlayStation 4 games that are free to download. You have one month to add these free PlayStation Plus games to your library.
