For the first time since the service started I let my PS Plus subscription expire. This price hike is atrocious especially for the essential tier. Sony has also removed the ability for backing up saves to USB for PS5 games so your only option is paying for the cloud backups. Ffs. Very likely my last Sony purchase. Glad Linux gaming is a thing.
What? Seriously??? We can't do USB backups?
Pure money grab to force you onto PS Plus
Edit: I was mistaken. You cannot backup PS4 or PS5 game saves to USB on the PS5 either.
What the hell. I wasn't backing up my saves thinking, "I'll do it later", turns out I can't?
I used to do it every one or two months with my PS4, what a dick move by $ony.
Yeah I was extremely unhappy when I discovered this. Figured since I play single player almost exclusively this past year that I had no reason to pay for PS+ anymore. Went to backup my PS5 saves manually and the option just straight up isn’t there in the menus. The option appears when dealing with PS4 saves though.
Really hard for me to justify $80/yr for save backups.
