I’m curious about whether upgrading my PlayStation Plus subscription from the Essential tier to a higher tier like Extra or Premium is actually more cost-effective than just purchasing one of those higher tiers directly. Has anyone looked into this for the EU region?

It really depends on how you use the service. If you’re paying for the highest tier but only using it for online gaming, you might not be getting your money’s worth. Check out what each tier offers and see if you’ll actually use those extra features enough to justify the upgrade.
Generally, unless there’s some special sale, upgrading from Essential to Extra or Premium tends to cost the same as just buying the subscription outright. Sometimes you might find a deal that makes it cheaper, but it’s not common.
Honestly, the upgrade price is just the price difference minus the days you’ve used. So don’t expect it to be cheaper—it’s pretty much the same.
Upgrading your subscription is usually prorated based on the time you have left on your current plan. So it won’t give you more time; it just calculates the difference. Keep an eye on how that changes each day!
