PlayStation Plus subscribers surprised with unexpected bonus

PlayStation Plus subscribers can redeem a special offer via PlayStation Direct, leading to huge discounts.

Recently, the official PlayStation Twitter account tweeted that players can get a discount of up to £30 when purchasing products from the online PlayStation Direct store.

Take a look at the new PlayStation 5 consoles, launching later this year.

All you need to do is buy any two items, whether it be a PS5 console and a spare controller, a new game and a controller charging kit, a new controller and PS5 console covers or any other combination you can think of.

Once the two items are added to your basket, you’ll either see a reduction of £15, or £30 if you’re subscribed to PlayStation Plus and have your account linked.

It’d be a great opportunity to grab some of the latest PlayStation games at a reduced price too, like Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 which releases tomorrow.

It’s also nice to see PlayStation Plus memberships actually yield something good for a change. The subscription service has been on a bit of a downward spiral in recent months, thanks to some lacklustre additions to its Extra game catalogue, as well as the less than thrilling free monthly games for Essential tier members.

To be fair though, some of the recent additions haven’t been so bad, especially if you’re looking for some spooky games to play in the build-up to Halloween. Titles like Outlast 2, The Callisto Project and the scariest game of them all, Alien: Isolation are all playable now thanks to the subscription service.

There was also the surprise announcement that PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers will soon be able to cloud stream a select number of games as an exclusive feature.

If you’re looking to get more out of your PlayStation Plus membership though, don’t miss out on this limited time deal, as it’s the perfect opportunity to bag a huge discount on some new hardware or games.
