I've been pretty disillusioned with the PS Plus subscription service this past year, what with its baffling price hike and the relatively slow drip of games released in comparison to competing services on other platforms.
Black Friday marks a change, though, as Sony has seen to apply up to a massive 30% off 12-month PS Plus subscriptions as part of its Black Friday PS5 deals. And that goes for each of the three PS Plus tiers available.
On top of this, UK retailer ShopTo has applied discounts to its stock of PlayStation Store gift cards, allowing you to take advantage of Sony's PS Plus discounts and potentially have a little extra on the side. We've listed these below - from £10 all the way to £200 - but highlights include the £100 gift card for £87.85 and the £50 gift card for £44.85.
It's also worth noting that Sony's PS Plus discounts still apply if you're already a member upgrading to a different tier. As detailed in the official PlayStation Blog post, existing subscribers can save 25% when upgrading from Essential to Extra, and 30% when jumping from Extra to Premium. All in all, this is one of the most enticing Black Friday PS5 deals we've seen this year.
Today's best Black Friday PS Store gift card deals
PlayStation doesn't often discount its PS Plus subscriptions, and even over events such as Black Friday, it isn't a guarantee. The same of course goes for gift cards, but we find that ShopTo is the most reliable here and usually has the best discounted rates.
As a gentle reminder, if you do end up buying one of these 12-month subscriptions, head into your PS5 console subscription settings after purchase and make sure recurring billing is switched off. That way, you won't be hit with a massive fee should Sony choose not to discount PS Plus subscriptions over next year's Black Friday period.
