PlayStation Plus Price Hike Has Fans Guessing About a State of Play Event Being in the Works

One of the biggest ways fans are able to access games on both Xbox and PlayStation is the respective subscription-based services. These offer titles for free, as long as you are a paying member, without paying the massive price for each of these games.

PlayStation fans might find themselves disappointed after news about PlayStation Plus’ pricing came, as prices saw big hikes. The rumor mill says the increase in prices might be indicative of a State of Play event coming sometime soon.

PlayStation Plus price rise might be hinting towards a State of Play event

With PlayStation Plus‘ change in pricing, fans felt concerned about the way it would affect members of the service. However, a lot of people across social media platforms seem to think there is something bigger at play here, with the price rise being a hint at a State of Play event coming.

Initially, when PlayStation fans heard of the price, they nearly lost it. While price rises usually happened on a smaller scale, this one was a big shift in the balance. Fans expected some sort of explanation for the change. The highest level of subscription costs a whopping $160 for an annual subscription. As a result, fans hoped to see what PlayStation’s idea was behind the change.

Additionally, with Spider-Man 2 coming in just two months’ time, a State of Play event could be in the works. However, there is a good chance the event would show more footage of the game, instead of addressing the PlayStation Plus pricing issue.

The price changes for PlayStation Plus have a larger impact on the community. Recent developments in PlayStation technology have elevated PlayStation Plus from just a subscription-based game service. It will be crucial in terms of determining how Project Cronus, PlayStation’s cloud-gaming service, turns. Could PlayStation reveal the price hike was just the beginning of their release of the cloud-based gaming platform?

Fans hope to get some answers in the rumored State of Play event along with footage of the new Spider-Man title. If PlayStation does bring news of Project Cronus, it could help in convincing fans to support the hike in the price. It depends on the direction they take with the rumored State of Play event. Regardless, fans hope to get clarity about the rise in prices.
