How Get PlayStation Plus on PS5

PlayStation Plus is required to play many PS5 games online. You can still play free-to-play titles without it, but certain paid games like FIFA and Call of Duty will require a PlayStation Plus subscription to play online.

PlayStation Plus on PS5 is the same as it was on PS4. If you already have a PS4 subscription, you can log in using the same account on PS5, and your subscription will carry over.

If you’re new to PlayStation or just starting to play online video games, this guide shows you how to get and activate a PlayStation Plus subscription for your PS5 account.
