Sony’s Free PS Plus Compensation Offer May Cause a Problem for Some – PlayStation LifeStyle

Sony’s compensation offer for the recent PSN outage may end up spoiling a massive PS Plus discount for some players. PS Plus discounts are few and far between, but the annual Black Friday offer gives players a golden opportunity to get a big discount on renewals, provided that their subscription runs out before or during the Black Friday sale. The compensation may push some folks over the deadline, causing them to miss out on the offer.Black Friday deals offer a limited window of opportunity for players to snag a discount on PS Plus. Those whose subscriptions expire even an hour beyond the end date are not eligible to receive a discount even if they cancel their subscriptions beforehand. Many players have complained that they’ve been timing their renewals in such a way that their PS Plus expires during the Black Friday sale period. However, when Sony extends their PS Plus by five days (the compensation hasn’t kicked in yet), it’ll likely push them over the Black Friday 2025 sale period, causing them to miss out on the deal.Gaming forums are now full of players crossing their fingers and hoping the compensation doesn’t ruin their Black Friday renewal plans.Are our readers anticipating facing this issue?Zarmena is a senior editor at PSLS.
