Users In Asian Regions Claiming Discounted Or Stacked Subscribers Force To Pay The Difference For Upgrading PlayStation Plus’ Higher Tiers, But Sony Already Resolved This Issue

Over the past week, PlayStation Plus remains a major talking point online with its revitalized tier system launching very soon. In certain regions, users are already accessing the new version of PlayStation Plus/PlayStation Now Extra & Premium subscriptions. Of course, this includes the lineup of titles slated for the service as well.

In that, users can expect a slew of titles ranging across a handful of PlayStation platforms for a flat monthly price. But for future subscribers, there are no loop holes according to the PlayStation Plus FAQ. That being service stacking will be disabled unlike for the service in the past. The company did tell it will compensate for the respected tier for those who already stacked subscriptions prior to the decision.

However, that might not be the case entirely. On Reddit, users from Asian territories are reporting that users paying for a discounted subscription or even stacked ahead of the new transition is being charged to pay the difference. Poster u/andyppbb did make an update in the thread for stacked subscribers which you can read in the image below:

Even on the China NGA Forum, one user also posted  before & after photos revealing that Sony did change its calculations which does not require to pay for the discount after all which is a relief after raising concerns ahead of the service launching in Japan and in the west in the coming weeks. So it appears the claims have been resolved fairly quickly ahead of the international release.

As for plans on the new PlayStation Plus, Sony Interactive Entertainment is to enable Trophies for certain legacy games. Since learning of this, it was only confirmed that Syphon Filter is to receive the feature. But, it is also learned that other first-party titles are to also welcome the mechanic as well which is welcoming since backwards compatibility leader Xbox does not have this for its system.

Recently, Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki explained that the service will likely not receive day one releases for first-party PlayStation titles. While Xbox Game Pass pioneered the tactic years prior, the PlayStation firm believes it will reduce the value of PlayStation Studios titles. You can read the full report by heading here.
