PlayStation Plus
PlayStation Plus comes in three tiers, and the gap between paying monthly and paying yearly is bigger than most people realise. Here are the UK prices as listed on playstation.com on 3 November 2026, what each tier actually adds, and a plain way to work out whether it beats simply buying the games you want.
Xbox Game Pass
Game Pass now has four plans, and they changed price twice in the space of a year. Here are the UK monthly prices shown on xbox.com on 3 November 2026, what each plan includes according to Microsoft, and the sums to run before you sign up.
Nintendo Switch Online
Nintendo Switch Online is the cheapest of the big console subscriptions, and the family plan can split across up to eight Nintendo Accounts. Here are the 12-month UK prices on Nintendo's site on 3 November 2026, what the Expansion Pack adds, and how to work out the cost per person in your house.
EA Play
EA Play is the cheapest publisher subscription on this site, and many people already have it without knowing, because it's bundled into some Game Pass plans. Here are EA's own UK prices on 3 November 2026, what the two tiers include, and whether paying for it separately makes sense.
Ubisoft+
Ubisoft+ has two tiers, and one of them is already bundled inside other subscriptions. Here are Ubisoft's UK prices on 3 November 2026, the difference between Classics and Premium, and how to avoid paying twice for the same games.
Apple Arcade
Apple Arcade is a single-tier subscription with a feature parents tend to like: Apple says its games have no ads and no in-app purchases. Here are Apple's UK prices on 3 November 2026, how Family Sharing changes the per-person cost, and where Apple One fits in.
