PlayStation is a Horrible Investment

On May 18, 2026, Sony posted a message to the official PlayStation account on X that starting on May 20, the price of PlayStation Plus would be going up. Single-month subscriptions would rise to $10.99, and three-month plans would jump to $27.99. The reason given was "ongoing market conditions," a phrase so vague it could mean anything, which is precisely the point. Conversely, just a few days earlier, Microsoft announced it was lowering the price of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate by six dollars a month and rebranding to “XBOX” in all caps, in an attempt to rally Xbox fans to come back to the platform. At the time of recording, there is a pretty strong rumor sweeping social media that PlayStation will no longer be shipping single-player games to multi-platform and that exclusives like Wolverine would stay locked to PlayStation hardware forever. Oh, and then there is the very serious story of PlayStation accounts being hijacked through a known security flaw that Sony had been aware of for six months and done absolutely nothing to fix. This is the state of PlayStation as of May 2026: the most expensive it has ever been to buy in and the least secure it has ever been to stay in, with an exclusive library that has thinned to a handful of titles on aging hardware. Sony is charging premiums for an ecosystem that fails to deliver premium results on virtually every front that matters to gamers. But don’t worry, prices will keep going up. • • • Try the Wizard's Hot Cocoa https://FakeWizard.com • • • Discover NEW Games from Indie Developers Visit https://FakePortal.com • • • Get Connected: ⤿ Fake Wizard Reviews:    / @fakewizards   ⤿ Live Streams:    / @fakewizardslive   ⤿ Instagram:   / reallifefakewizard   ⤿ Twitter: https://x.com/RealLifeFakeWiz ⤿ See more from Fake Wiz: https://www.FakeWizard.com FAN MAIL: Real Life Fake Wizard 1003 Mulford Ct.
