Sony closes a PS Plus loophole by pausing subscription extensions
, Sony has updated its PS Plus FAQ section to note that current subscribers of PS Plus and PS Now are unable to redeem voucher codes and extend their memberships for the time being. They'll be able to redeem them again when either their current membership lapses or the new PS Plus service is available in their region — whichever of those occurs first. As such, the company has stopped people from taking advantage of the PS Plus Premium loophole.
"As we prepare to launch the new PlayStation Plus membership service, we are doing some work behind the scenes to make the transition as smooth as possible for all of our existing members,"."As part of this work, we’ve temporarily disabled stacking memberships for existing customers until after the launch."
If you have an unredeemed voucher, it will now convert to a length of time equivalent to its monetary value. So, if you aren't currently a subscriber and have a one-month PS Plus or PS Now code lying in a drawer somewhere, that can convert to a month of PS Plus Essential or 17 days of PS Plus Premium access. Sony hasin some Asian markets on May 23rd, Japan on June 1st, the Americas on June 13th and Europe on June 22nd.
