PROS: The PlayStation Gift Card can be used to buy ANY game from the PlayStation Store on your PlayStation console. You can also purchase other types of content, like game add-ons, in-game content, etc. The PlayStation Gift Cards or PlayStation PSN Cards work with both PS5 and PS4 consoles. PlayStation Plus is an ongoing subscription for PS4 & PS5 players, that offers the following benefits:
Online multiplayer gaming with other PlayStation console owners Free games are included in the subscription fee each month Discounts on the PlayStation Store Exclusive add-ons and packs for different games 100 GB of cloud storage for your PlayStation game saves
