According to Sony, the price adjustment allows the company to "continue to offer high-quality games and value-added benefits" to its PS Plus subscribers. For current subscribers, the price change will not be reflected until the next renewal date. Any new changes made after September 6th will reflect the new pricing structure.
Sony has also announced 3 new games for PlayStation Plus, available to subscribers during the month of September. These games are Saints Row, Black Desert – Traveler Edition and Generation Zero. In these new games for September, Saints Row is available for both PS5 and PS4 but the other two games are only available as PS4 games. Of course, gamers can still play them on their PS5 console, albeit with PS4-level graphical fidelity.
