Recently, there was another round of price increases for Xbox Game Pass. The pricing policy is being actively criticized online, and there are calls to cancel the subscription.
Meanwhile, the PlayStation community is also uneasy: users fear that Sony may decide to do the same and revise the price of the PS Plus subscription.

«With Xbox Game Pass Ultimate rising to $30 a month, I'm very interested in what Sony is thinking right now. Will they see this as an opportunity to raise prices on PS Plus? Or will they stay put and try to look like a better deal?
The thing is, Sony doesn't release games on day one like Game Pass, which to some extent justifies the price increase on Xbox. But if PS Plus starts to slowly increase without adding anything new, it could seriously backfire on the service».
Some people, like LeSpermReceiver, believe that the price increase is a matter of time, but in the case of Sony, it will not be so sharp:
«Price increases are inevitable anyway, but GamePass Ultimate now costs $360 a year. PS Plus Premium is $160. I don't think they will be able to raise prices to Microsoft's level due to the lack of day-one releases, but they will inevitably raise prices again, possibly to $180 in a year».
