What's more, existing subscribers can get 25 percent off when upgrading to a higher tier, like PS Plus Extra or Premium.

Meanwhile, prices will be getting chopped over on direct.playstation.com — the brand's official online store. That means we can expect deals on all sorts of physical goods, like console accessories, and boxed games. It's a similar story with the PlayStation Gear Store, which stocks PlayStation-based merchandise.

And of course, no PlayStation promotion is complete without some exclusive PlayStation Store discounts. There is no information on which games will be getting discounted at the time of writing, but all will become clear when Days of Play begins later this week.
