The standard asterisk applies

Sony has announced that its PS Plus membership tiers will be available for purchase starting tomorrow, 16th November, over the course of two weeks.
Nevertheless, if you’ve been observing how Sony manages this campaign in recent years, you likely anticipate what’s ahead: the sale prices only pertain to new registrations; existing members will not gain access.
“Gamers in eligible regions who subscribe to PlayStation Plus during PlayStation’s Black Friday event can save significantly on selected memberships,” Sony specifies in an updated PlayStation Blog post. As indicated, you must “subscribe” to PS Plus during the Black Friday promotional period to be eligible, which runs from 16th November to 30th November.
The sole offer available to current PS Plus members is a subscription upgrade to PS Plus Premium. Anyone currently at the PS Plus Essential or PS Plus Extra levels may upgrade to PS Plus Premium at a reduced price.
If you are already a PS Plus Premium member, there is literally no offer available to you. “Existing PlayStation Plus members can also take advantage of an upgrade promotion on PlayStation Plus Premium/Deluxe,” it states.
This is a strategy Sony has employed for many years — it has not permitted extending a PS Plus membership at the same level for a lengthy period. Instead, the promotion continues to apply exclusively to new PS5 and PS4 owners joining PS Plus.
In fact, this year, Sony has not even disclosed what the discount will be as of now. Typically, the accompanying graphic reveals the types of offers available (usually around 33% off), but the image above contains no information. We’ll need to wait until tomorrow to discover the PS Plus deal for Black Friday 2026.
