The new PS Plus will allow you to upgrade your existing subscription plan to a higher level, but if you’re wondering how exactly that works, we can walk you through.
While players in North America and Europe have yet to receive the new PS Plus subscription plans, they are already available in some Asian countries. However, if you are planning to upgrade your current subscription plan to the Extra or Premium tiers, calculating the additional cost that you need to pay becomes a bit confusing.

To eliminate this confusion, we’ve already broken down the upgrade accounts for each tier of new PlayStation Plus subscriptions. So, let’s get started!
First of all, you cannot decide how much of your current subscription you want to upgrade to a higher level. Sony only allows you to upgrade the entire remainder of your existing subscription, whether it’s one day or many years!
By now, you may have noticed that purchasing an annual subscription to PS Plus Extra or Premium will cost you much less than renewing your membership month after month for an entire year. While this is still the case for upgrading your subscription, Sony will take back any discounts you previously received for purchasing your current subscription, according to Asian players who already got access to the new PS Plus levels.
So, let’s break it down. An annual subscription to PS Plus Essential (your current subscription plan) costs $60. However, if you purchase it during a sale at any price less than $60, you must pay that discounted amount back to Sony when you upgrade to a higher tier based on the remaining amount of your current subscription.
Now, regardless of this unique condition, you will need to pay the difference between your current subscription plan and your new subscription plan when you want to upgrade.
| Your current subscription status | The cost of upgrading to Extra in USD | The cost of upgrading to Premium in US dollars |
| I had bought it annually at the official price | Remaining days until expiration × 40/365 | Remaining days until expiration × 60/365 |
| I bought it every three months at the official price | Remaining days until expiration × 15/365 | Remaining days until expiration × 25/365 |
| I bought it monthly at the official price | Remaining days until expiration × 5/365 | Remaining days until expiration × 8/365 |
| I had bought it annually at a cheaper price | Remaining days until expiration × (100 – the price of your owned subscription when you purchased it) / 365 | Remaining days until expiration × (120 – the price of your owned subscription when you purchased it) / 365 |
| I would have bought it every three months at a cheaper price | Remaining days until expiration × (40 – The price of your owned subscription when you purchased it) / 365 | Remaining days until expiration × (50 – the price of your owned subscription when you purchased it) / 365 |
| I would have bought it monthly at a cheaper price | Remaining days until expiration × (15 – The price of your owned subscription when you purchased it) / 365 | Remaining days until expiration × (18 – The price of your owned subscription when you purchased it) / 365 |
The new PlayStation Plus levels will be available June 13 in North America and June 23 in Europe for PS4, PS5, and PC.
