Starting September 22^nd, PlayStation Plus members will have to pony up more cash to pay for their memberships.

If you continue to subscribe beyond the 22^nd, you’ll continue to get access to online multiplayer, free games, and exclusive discounts as well as “exclusive benefits” like online game save storage and discounts across PlayStation digital services.
