The Issue

We are a group of passionate gamers who love to connect with our friends online through our favorite games such as WWE2K23, FIFA 24, and GTA 5. However, the current requirement to pay for PS Plus in order to play these games online is creating a barrier between us and our beloved hobby.

The introduction of this feature has significantly impacted the gaming community. It's not just about money; it's about accessibility and fairness. Gaming should be an inclusive activity that everyone can enjoy without having to worry about additional costs.

According to Statista, there were over 114 million active PlayStation Network users worldwide in 2021. If even a fraction of these users are facing similar frustrations due to this feature, then it is clear that change is needed.

We believe that Sony Interactive Entertainment can find alternative ways to generate revenue without compromising the gaming experience for its loyal user base. By eliminating the need for PS Plus in order to play online, they would be taking a significant step towards making gaming more accessible and enjoyable for all.
