Playstation 4 Plus: is the subscription worth it?

Is the Playstation 4 Plus subscription worth it? It costs it

You can buy Playstation Plus for 3 different periods and test it for 14 days completely free of charge.

You can become a PlayStation Plus member for one, three or twelve months. The costs for this are 8.99 euros for one month, 24.99 euros for three months or 59.99 euros for annual membership.
But be sure to cancel the subscription in good time if you don't want to keep Playstation Plus.

Playstation Plus gives you access to additional benefits and lets you use online content.

With the PlayStation 4 you need a Plus subscription if you want to gamble online against friends or players from all over the world, for example at FIFA 20. For that alone, just under 60 euros would be overdrawn a year.
You can also get some games for free via PS +! For example, the first-person shooter Titanfall 2 is currently free to download for PlayStation Plus members. Usually, the game in the Playstation Store costs around 20 euros.
If you also have a PS Vita, you will also get one or two free games for it.
Another function is "SharePlay": This feature allows the controller to be handed over virtually. That means a friend can continue playing at the point where you may not get any further. You need to be a PlayStation Plus member to use this feature.
The local multiplayer can also be handed over, but you and your friend must be a PS Plus member. Only with the share screen neither of them needs a Plus membership.

As a Plus member, you will always receive discounts on games that you can download from the PlayStation Store.

In the Playstatione Store you can always find around 10 games for which you get a discount with a Playstation Plus subscription.
The games cost in most cases between 20 and 50 euros and have a discount of up to 30%. The discounts can also be higher on special occasions.

You have to weigh yourself whether Playstation Plus is worth it. For regular players, a purchase usually makes sense.

If you want to compete with your friends online with your Playstation 4 or want to use SharePlay intensively, you must inevitably complete the PS + subscription. Even if you like to try out new games, the subscription could be worthwhile for you.
The more consoles you have from Sony, the more you benefit from your membership.
Since most games have a multiplayer mode and this is often very attractive, a Playstation Plus subscription makes sense. However, you should consider whether you would spend enough time playing.

To download games from Sony, you must top up your Playstation Network credit. You can find out how to do this in this article.
