The GameRant store is currently offering PlayStation Plus Subscriptions for sale for all of our readers, with an extra 40% off with the coupon code RANT40. Quantity is limited, though, and the sale will not last forever, so anyone who wants to buy (or gift) a 12-month PlayStation Plus subscription for under $40, now is the time to get it.
A PlayStation Plus subscription is a perfect gift for anyone who games on a PlayStation, even if they already enjoy the benefits of a PlayStation Plus subscription. The key, which needs to be redeemed within 30 days of purchase, can be redeemed on any PlayStation account and will add the 12 months of PlayStation Plus to the player's total subscription time.
Gamers have been getting a lot of value from PlayStation Plus subscriptions in recent months, largely because of the growing collection of "free" games subscribers have been receiving over the past year. A monthly subscription straight from PlayStation costs $9.99 a month at most, or $119.88 over the course of a year, and the total value of the free games released in 2020 comes out to around $750.
People are already starting to speculate which PS5 games will eventually be free on PlayStation Plus. Games released this year such as Godfall and The Pathless may end up being considered for the free collection on PlayStation Plus within the next year. With the benefit of an additional year of PlayStation Plus, there will be plenty of time for players to grow their collections.
Here's an interesting note: players don't even need to have a PlayStation 5 yet in order to claim the monthly free games that run on it, as long as they have a PlayStation Plus subscription. On that note, it is recommended that PlayStation Plus subscriptions given as gifts should be given right away so the player can claim their games for December.
Gamers who are especially serious about the PlayStation consoles and are considering getting into game development should also consider the Game Developer and Player Bundle Featuring PlayStation Plus, which also includes a 12-month subscription and access to a variety of courses via The School of Game Design and our own game guru, Jonathan Weinberger.
