Sony has launched a limited-time promotion for US users, offering a 14-day trial for PlayStation Plus Premium through Webtoon. This offer is valid until May 6, and the trial codes can be redeemed until May 8. For those who already have a lower-tier subscription, this promotion allows for an automatic upgrade to the equivalent Premium tier. The PlayStation Plus subscription service boasts numerous benefits, including online multiplayer access, monthly free games, and exclusive discounts.
Sony has structured the service into three tiers: Essential, Extra, and Premium, enabling gamers to select a membership that fits their budget and desired features. While all tiers provide various benefits, Premium stands out by offering access to a collection of games from older consoles like PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP, making it the most comprehensive—and expensive—option. For those interested in claiming the free trial, the process is straightforward. Users must create or log into a Webtoon account and read seven episodes from the Press Play Collection.
Interestingly, participants can scroll to the bottom of the episodes without actually reading them to satisfy the requirement. Although some users have reported issues, Sony has stated that a trial code will be sent to the email associated with the Webtoon account, enabling users to redeem their trial and explore the features of PlayStation Plus Premium. It’s important to note that this promotion is exclusively available to US residents until May 6, meaning eager gamers have a limited timeframe to seize the opportunity. Existing Premium subscribers are not eligible, but those with lower-tier accounts can upgrade to experience the benefits of Premium.
Additionally, PlayStation Plus has recently announced a range of new titles for May, including Balatro and Premium-exclusive games like Alone in the Dark 2 and War of the Monsters, providing further incentive for gamers to try this top-tier plan.
