It’s not just the PS5. PlayStation Plus is now getting a price hike, too

I wish I had some good news to report for once, but this is 2026.

After increasing PS5 prices again earlier this year, the console’s online subscription service is following suit, Sony announced today. “Due to ongoing market conditions,” the new introductory pricing for new PlayStation Plus customers will rise in two days.

On May 20, PS Plus prices will start at $10.99 USD for 1-month subscriptions and $27.99 USD for 3-month subscriptions. That’s an increase of one dollar per month for the monthly fee, so you’re better off buying more months if you’re going to use the service at all.

One more dollar a month means 12 more bucks a year if you’re someone who subscribes monthly and cancels when they need to, so it doesn’t sound all that awful in the grand scheme, but it’s not good news. One more dollar per month is in addition to everything else going up in price around the world, and that’s not even including gaming. But specifically for gaming, there also hasn’t really been much good news in the industry at all this year.

The PS5 Pro is a whopping $899 after a big price hike this year. PS Plus is now more expensive, too. Gaming is becoming harder and harder to manage as a hobby for many people, and it’s no wonder that quarterly earnings reports across all publishers seem to be showing more and more red these days. How are everyday consumers supposed to afford all of this?

What’s the answer? I really don’t know. Between the RAM shortage crisis, global instability, and the “ongoing market conditions” buzzword that companies seem to love so much as justification for increased prices, there doesn’t seem to be any relief in sight for those looking to enjoy gaming as a luxury while supporting themselves and their families.

The Bioscanner is a pretty important tool in Subnautica 2, and we will need to unlock it to reach the end of the campaign in the early access. Moreover, we can also use it to scan alien lifeforms, which gives us more perks like extra Biomods.

Like most things inside the game, we will have to find the blueprint for this item before we get to use it.

Bioscanner blueprint location in Subnautica 2

To unlock the Bioscanner, we need to scan just one blueprint. However, we will have to travel all the way to the fourth Angel Comb in the Alien Ruins. From there, keep moving upwards until you come across a crashed Alterra starship wreck.

You can refer to the image above to find the entrance. You’ll need the Repair Tool to proceed since one of the key doorways will be inaccessible at first. Repair the door, and head to the next room. Take the door on your left in this room, and go to the next one.

You’ll find an Iso in this room resting on a dining table and an upgrade for your Tadpole submarine. Look carefully at the corner, and you’ll find a hole that goes through a chamber. Follow the chamber until you reach the end, and you’ll come across the Bioscanner. Use your Scanner to unlock the blueprint.

How to craft the Bioscanner in Subnautica 2

The Bioscanner is an upgrade over your Scanner, and you’ll need the Modification Station. You’ll also need the required resources to craft the Bioscanner. This item scans quicker, and it also allows you to check out certain lifeforms that aren’t detected by the ordinary scanner.

Moreover, you’ll also need the Bioscanner to scan the broken turbine before you can activate it to reach the end of the game (as of writing).
