PlayStation 5 users have a special chance to earn a unique avatar in celebration of the PlayStation Plus anniversary, lasting until the end of July 2025. This limited offer coincides with the 15th anniversary of Sony’s subscription service, which was celebrated on June 29. Despite recent price hikes, PlayStation Plus is seeing significant growth, particularly in its Premium tier, which has attracted the most new users.
In honor of the anniversary, Sony has introduced a global tournament series known as the PlayStation Plus 15th Anniversary Cup, which will run until July 31. This event features ten games, with the first round—including College Football 25, Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves, EA Sports FC 25, and Mortal Kombat 1—currently underway. Participants who register will receive a complimentary avatar adorned with the PS Plus logo and a “15th Anniversary” tagline set against a backdrop of PlayStation game covers.
The tournament promises several prizes. All participants will receive the commemorative avatar, while additional rewards may vary based on the game and region. Registration for the tournament is conducted through the PS5 Game Hub, with participants expected to be at least 18 years old and hold an active PS Plus membership.
It is important to note that while the subscription is available on PS4, only PS5 owners can participate in the 15th Anniversary Cup. The competition spans multiple regions but is not available in every country, with six missing from the eligible list. The second phase will commence on July 10, featuring popular titles such as Tekken 8 and NBA 2K25, while the final stretch starting July 21 will include College Football 26 and UFC 5.
Participants should keep an eye on system notifications for new rewards, as they must claim them within 30 days after the event concludes.
