PlayStation Now is merging with PlayStation Plus and will be a new multi-tiered PlayStation Plus service. Benefits currently available under PlayStation Plus and PlayStation Now will be part of the new PlayStation Plus service.
If your membership does not expire before the service changes, you will be migrated into a new PlayStation Plus membership plan that retains all of the features and benefits and you have paid for with PlayStation Now.
When you join PS Now on either the free trial or one of the paid subscription plans, we will turn ON automatic funding in your account settings. This means that if you do not have enough funds in your PSN wallet to pay the recurring subscription fee, the required balance will be charged to the payment method registered to your account (if any), unless you turn off automatic funding. To turn off automatic funding, go to 'Account Settings', 'Wallet' then 'Wallet Settings'.
All new customers are eligible for a seven-day free trial, which will roll over into an ongoing subscription, unless cancelled before the end of the trial period.
You can cancel PS Now at any time, so that your subscription will expire at the end of the current billing period. We are unable to offer refunds for payments already made. Instructions on cancelling your subscription are available at playstation.com/ps-now-cancel.
