PlayStation Plus subscribers can claim a YouTube Premium free trial through PlayStation Perks, aimed at anyone who wants fewer interruptions between games, streams and music. It sits alongside other subscription bundles and perks, and competes with the usual platform trials you might see direct from YouTube, with the difference being that access is tied to an active PS+ membership and redemption via your PlayStation account.
Who will get the most out of this trial?
If you regularly watch long videos, tutorials or live streams on console or mobile, ad free playback can make a noticeable difference. YouTube Premium also supports background play on mobile and offline downloads, which suits commuting or patch day waits. It can be less compelling if you mainly watch short clips or already use ad blocking on desktop, and you will want to check the renewal terms so you are not caught by an automatic switch to paid membership.
- Includes YouTube Music Premium, useful if you want one subscription for videos and music
- Works across devices once activated on your Google account, not limited to PlayStation
