Gaming is hotter than ever, especially during a global pandemic while most people are sheltering-in-place at home. And if you’re a PlayStation 4 gamer, you can get the most out of your console with a membership to PlayStation Plus—Sony’s gaming service that can unlock the PS4’s awesome potential.

Right now, a 12-month subscription is just $42, down from $60. That’s a sweet 30 percent savings.

How it works

Once you receive the digital code, you can sign up for the service to get online multiplayer access, as well as free monthly PS4 games for your digital library. This is ideal for playing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in Warzone mode or FIFA 20's Ultimate Team mode. You can even get a gang of outlaws together for Red Dead Redemption 2.

“This worked perfectly! I ordered the code, got it instantly and immediately inserted it into the code redemption screen on the PS4; worked like a charm,” shared a delighted shopper.

More goodies

You’ll also score special discounts and early access from the PlayStation Store, as well as automatic game save uploads to your online cloud storage up to 100GB. Want more Sony stuff? You’ll get free one-day express shipping for everything from game controllers and a PlayStation VR headset to the PlayStation 5 home console, which drops on November 20.

“PlayStation Plus is worth the price alone for online game backups. I've been a member since it began and it has saved me several times after system failures or upgrades over the years,” wrote another five-star reviewer. “The free games each month are just icing on the cake. More than once I've gotten a free game that I was planning on purchasing anyway.”

Bottom line

PlayStation Plus is like Amazon Prime and Netflix rolled up into one convenient service. And at $42, it’s like you’re getting an entire year of access for about the price of eight months.

“Nothing beats instant, so when you want to get on the PlayStation Network now, this is for you,” added a satisfied gamer. “The PlayStation Plus network is essential for the PlayStation 4...This membership fully utilizes the multiplayer capabilities of the console.”
