Sony has announced a new limited-time promotion giving players the opportunity to enjoy three months of PlayStation Plus Premium at no cost with the purchase of any new PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Pro console. The offer runs from October 10 through October 21, 2025, and applies to all eligible purchases made within this period. Buyers must activate their new console and redeem the offer by October 25 to qualify.
The promotion aims to highlight the value of Sony’s premium subscription service at a time when its content lineup is particularly strong. PlayStation Plus Premium is the highest tier of Sony’s three-level subscription model, which includes Essential, Extra, and Premium. All tiers provide access to online multiplayer features, cloud storage for save data, exclusive store discounts, and a rotating selection of free monthly games.
The Extra tier expands these benefits by adding a Game Catalog of up to 400 downloadable PS4 and PS5 titles, while Premium offers the most comprehensive package. Subscribers at this level gain access to an expansive Classics Catalog of over 340 titles from PlayStation’s legacy systems—PS1, PS2, PSP, and streaming-only PS3 games—along with cloud streaming and time-limited game trials for major releases.
Currently, annual subscription pricing in the United States stands at $79.99 for PS Plus Essential, $134.99 for PS Plus Extra, and $159.99 for PS Plus Premium. Given these costs, this limited-time promotion represents a notable saving for anyone planning to purchase a PS5 console this month.
The timing of the offer coincides with a strong October lineup for PS Plus subscribers. For PS Plus Extra members, October 2025 introduces several major titles including Silent Hill 2 (PS5), Until Dawn (2024 remake), As Dusk Falls, V Rising, Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Poppy Playtime: Chapter 1, and Wizard with a Gun. Meanwhile, PS Plus Premium subscribers receive Tekken 3—a classic entry from the PlayStation era—enhanced for modern consoles.
For new console owners, this promotion provides an excellent gateway into Sony’s expanding PlayStation ecosystem. With a diverse lineup of games available through PS Plus and the powerful performance of both the PS5 and PS5 Pro, players can explore a mix of new releases and nostalgic classics without additional cost for the first three months.
Those planning to purchase a PlayStation 5 are encouraged to do so before the offer ends on October 21 and to claim their complimentary PS Plus Premium subscription by October 25. Given the breadth of content available on the service, the deal serves as an ideal introduction to the full capabilities of the PlayStation platform heading into the holiday season.
