The reason for this is that Sony is planning to implement a new pricing structure for PlayStation Plus. This new structure will see a significant increase in the monthly subscription fee. The price hike is expected to be around 20% for the Essential tier, and 30% for the Extra and Premium tiers. This change in pricing structure is part of a larger strategy by Sony to revamp their PlayStation Plus service.

There’s a separate event for PC gamers, with a similar format and structure. The PlayStation 5 Game Hub is a platform that allows players to connect with each other and find open spots for tournaments. It’s a centralized hub for all things PlayStation 5 gaming.
