Sony has announced a range of new \u201cperks\u201d for PS Plus, including a three-month trial to YouTube Premium, as well as trials and discounts for other services. But not all fans are on board.<\/p>\n
“Enjoy a range of special offers, trials and discounts from PlayStation, Sony and select partners. All included with your PlayStation Plus membership,” Sony’s announcement reads.<\/p>\n
Those partners include YouTube Premium, DAZN, Audible, and Sony Pictures’ own Core. Elsewhere, PS Plus members get a 5% discount when they buy direct from PlayStation, they can save 10% on gaming and audio from Sony Electronics, and a two month trial of Calm Premium.<\/p>\n

“How is a free trial a perk?” one person complained on social media. “Calling free trials a perk is a big reach,” another person commented. “These are not real perks, these are just money for Sony by funnelling people into these other subscriptions,” another said. “Nobody cares about a free trial. Give us full crunchy roll premium on ps plus and then maybe we will be happy,” one person suggested.<\/p>\n
Others are using the perks announcement to once again criticize Sony for its decision to kill PlayStation discs from 2028.<\/p>\n
