In today’s Daily Fix:Sony is raising prices yet again—this time to PlayStation Plus. The gaming subscription service will go up to $10.99 for a one-month subscription, and $27.99 for a three-month sub. This obviously did not go down well with PlayStation gamers, who have already suffered through PS5 console price hikes. Many are even questioning why a subscription is even necessary to play online games. In other news, Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has revealed the latest change to the brand, this time from ‘Xbox’ to ‘XBOX’ (note the all-caps). This follows the results of an online poll she posted asking fans if they prefered the regular capitalizaton or the all-caps look. And finally, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick has revealed that the original Borderlands underwent a last-minute art style change that cost the company a year in development and an extra $50 million.As part of IGN’s 30th anniversary celebration, we’re giving away 30 free IGN Live tickets a day.
