Sony Interactive Entertainment, responsible for the popular PlayStation console brand, recently announced an adjustment in the prices of annual plans for the PlayStation Plus in Brazil.
The change, which follows a global trend, resulted in an increase of up to 40% in plan values. According to PlayStation, the updated values affect the PS Plus Essential, Extra and Deluxe annual plans.

Repercussion of the news in Brazil
The increase in prices generated diverse reactions in the Brazilian gaming community, with some expressing dissatisfaction with the substantial adjustment.
On the other hand, many gamers are now taking advantage of the benefits offered by PlayStation Plus, such as monthly games and free access to online resources.
This adjustment in PlayStation Plus prices in Brazil has also raised questions about access to video games and digital entertainment services in the country, as rising prices could impact accessibility for the majority of the population.
However, the PlayStation highlights its commitment to continue providing high-quality gaming experiences and improve its services for the gaming community in Brazil and around the world.
