PlayStation announced, this Thursday (19), a promotion that gives 50% off on PlayStation Plus. Those who opt for the 12-month plan will pay R$99.90 instead of R$199.
The promotional price will only be valid until August 30th. Furthermore, only new subscribers will be able to take advantage of the lower price.

The company emphasizes that the subscription can be carried out by the official website of the service. In addition, she informs that whoever takes advantage of the promotional price will pay around R$8.40/month (although the amount cannot be paid in installments when the purchase is made directly from the PlayStation Store).
Increases and loss of subscribers
The 50% promotion on Plus comes after at least 3 major negative events for the brand. More recently, in early August, Sony unveiled its financial report for the 1st quarter of fiscal year 2021, which among other things showed that 1.3 million people no longer subscribe to PlayStation Plus.
In May of this year, Brazilians had already received bad news. All service plans (1 month, 3 months and 12 months) suffered increases that reached up to 34%. At the time, the company justified that the adjustments were necessary to reflect “the current market situation”.
In addition to Plus, the PlayStation Hits line games also experienced increases soon after, which even generated a player campaign on social media.
As a counterpoint, Sony announced yesterday (18) reductions in PS5, PS4 and accessories values. The justification was a reduction in the IPI (Tax on Industrialized Product) that had been announced by the Federal Government.
