Select PS5 owners who have never subscribed to PlayStation Plus are receiving a rare complimentary week of PS Plus Premium, with voucher codes that expire July 5. The company is distributing the offer through console notifications rather than email or public promotions. Reddit users posted screenshots of alerts containing unique voucher codes for a seven-day Premium trial.
The notification reads: "Enjoy seven days of PlayStation Plus Premium for free." The catch: eligibility appears limited to accounts that have never held a PS Plus subscription.
Even among that group, Sony is selecting recipients at random. The codes must be redeemed by July 5, making this a short-window acquisition play rather than a broad giveaway.
PS Plus Premium is the top tier at $17.99 per month, or $49.99 for three months and $159.99 for a full year. It bundles the PS Plus Extra game catalog with the Classics Catalog (PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP titles) plus Game Trials for select releases.
Free trials were a regular occurrence before Sony locked online multiplayer and save data backups behind PS Plus. Since then. The company has mostly limited offers to upgrade discounts on existing memberships.
Sony has run similar random giveaways before, but they remain uncommon. The notification states the service is a recurring offering that renews automatically. The company did not clarify whether the free trial converts to paid billing after seven days.
Redeemed codes require immediate auto-renew deactivation and stored payment removal to avoid an unwanted $17.99 charge when the trial expires July 5.
