Best PlayStation Plus Deals: Save on Essential, Plus and Premium
Best PS Plus deals

Sony's PlayStation 5 is one of the biggest consoles of the generation, and we're not just talking in terms of sales or game releases. Much like the PlayStation 4, it's taken a while for the PS5 to take its stride, but it finally has a great lineup of games that are worth checking out. Of course, one big downside to consoles like the PS5 is that, unlike a gaming PC where you can connect to multiplayer servers without an issue, you have to have a subscription service, in this case, called PlayStation Plus. It's not all bad, though, since there are some tiers that give you access to a large PS games library and a few other perks, so it's worth grabbing for more reasons than just access to online content.

Also, while you're here, be sure to check out these excellent PS5 game deals and PlayStation deals that include some great games and accessories you can get for a great price.
What is PlayStation Plus?
Along with online multiplayer and other in-game network features, a PlayStation Plus Essential membership grants you access to exclusive discounts and other promotions. Perhaps the most notable benefit of PlayStation Plus is that every month, Sony gives subscribers one PlayStation 5 and two PlayStation 4 games that are free to download. You have one month to add these free PlayStation Plus games to your library.
