PlayStation Plus Subscription Stacking Stopped By Sony

screenrant.com:

Sony has reportedly stopped the stacking of PlayStation subscription codes, seemingly to prevent people from receiving the PlayStation Plus Premium cheap upgrade route. PlayStation Plus is receiving an overhaul in June, which will roll PlayStation Now into the service, as well as offer a method for playing retro PlayStation games on modern systems.

The new PlayStation Plus system will be split into three tiers. The basic tier is PlayStation Plus Essential, which is the same as the current iteration of PlayStation Plus. The second tier is PlayStation Plus Extra, which is the same as PlayStation Now, except that it will start adding PS5 games in the future, including Returnal. The third (and most expensive) tier is PlayStation Plus Premium, which will let subscribers play select PS1, PS2, and PSP titles. It's unclear what retro games will be available as part of PlayStation Plus, though it seems that the Syphon Filter series is coming to PS+ Premium in the future, thanks to a recent age rating.

Sony recently announced that people with both a PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscription will be bumped up to PlayStation Premium for free when the new service launches, with their new subscription matching the longer of the original two. It seems Sony is now preventing people from stacking subscriptions to take advantage of this deal. According to a PlayStation support email received by Push Square, Sony has temporarily disabled the ability to add PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now subscriptions.
