You can win some fantastic prizes just by playing PlayStation games, thanks to a free event celebrating 15 years of PlayStation Plus.
Sony’s PlayStation Plus service launched in 2010 during the PS3 era, and since that time, the subscription service has come a long way. Whether it’s improved or gotten worse over the years is debatable.
When it first launched, it was during a time when on PlayStation, you didn’t have to pay for online gaming. Now, unless it’s a free-to–play title like Fortnite or Call of Duty: Warzone, the luxury of accessing online multiplayer comes at a financial cost.
PlayStation Plus back then was just about getting a batch of games as part of the service, and it was a great time. On the flipside, depending on the tier you subscribe to today, you can get access to tons more games, discounts, free DLC, movies and more.
So, with the 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus underway, Sony has been treating subscribers to bonus games such as CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077.
What’s more, by competing in friendly PlayStation Plus tournaments, players can not only win prizes by competing, but just by taking part, you’ll be gifted with a free 15th Anniversary PS Plus icon to proudly display on your PSN profile.
From now until 31 July 2025, there will be a series of weekly tournaments that include multiplayer games such as Tekken 8, NBA 2K25, Madden 25, College Football 26, Guilty Gear – Strive-, and UFC 5.
To take part in the PlayStation Plus 15th Anniversary Cup, simply go to the game hub via your PS5 home screen and scroll down until you see “Upcoming Tournaments”.
Now, select the tournament you want to take part in, select register and before it’s time for the tournament to begin, you’ll get a notification on your console for you to jump in on the action. Good luck!
