How To Check When Your Playstation Plus Expires

Okay, let's be honest. We've all been there. You fire up your PlayStation, ready for some online multiplayer action. BAM! A message screams: "Your PlayStation Plus subscription has expired!"

Rage ensues. Controller nearly meets wall. Is there a way to avoid this digital heartbreak? Yes! Here's how to avoid that moment. Spoiler alert: there's a few ways to check.

Checking on Your Console: The Easiest Ways

First up, let's look at the obvious. Boot up your PlayStation, either the PS4 or PS5. This is usually the fastest route.

Checking on PS5

On your PS5, head over to Settings. It’s that little gear icon. You know the one.

Then, navigate to Users and Accounts. Sounds official, right? It kind of is.

Next, go to Account. Deep breaths. We're almost there.

Finally, find Subscriptions. Ta-da! Your PlayStation Plus expiry date should be staring right back at you.

See? Easy peasy. Like beating that one boss you thought was impossible.

Checking on PS4

PS4 is similar, but slightly different. Just to keep things interesting, of course.

Go to Settings. Again, the gear icon is your friend.

Then, look for Account Management. Don't worry, it's not as scary as it sounds.

Choose Account Information. Keep going, you're almost there!

Find PlayStation Subscriptions. Boom! Your expiry date is revealed. Congratulations! You've successfully adulted.

The Website Route: For Those Who Like Big Screens

Prefer checking things on your computer? No problem! Sony's got you covered. (Mostly).

Head to the PlayStation website. Log in with your account details.

Click on your profile picture. Find Subscription Management. It’s probably hidden somewhere slightly obscure. Because why not?

Your PlayStation Plus expiry date should be displayed. This is handy if you're already browsing online. Multi-tasking ftw!

The Unpopular Opinion: Just Set It to Auto-Renew

Okay, hear me out. This might be controversial. But I'm going to say it anyway.

Why not just set your PlayStation Plus to auto-renew?

Think about it. No more last-minute panics. No more interrupted gaming sessions. Pure bliss. (Okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a little).

Sure, you might forget about it and accidentally pay for another month. But isn't that better than the alternative? Consider it a donation to your gaming happiness.

Plus, you can always turn it off later. I'm just saying, it's an option. Don't @ me.

Bonus Tip: Check Your Email

Sony usually sends out email reminders before your subscription expires. Keep an eye on your inbox.

Especially the junk folder. Sometimes those sneaky emails end up there. Don't let them trick you!

So there you have it! Multiple ways to check your PlayStation Plus expiry date. Now go forth and game responsibly (and maybe consider auto-renew).
