The world has been ravaged by a spate of natural disasters in recent weeks, and Sony is extending the PlayStation Plus subscriptions of those affected for free. Reports coming out of Texas and Florida reveal that the platform holder is adding a month of free service to users' accounts, making up for any lost gaming time inflicted by the devastating weather.

It’s a small token considering the scale of the destruction that the likes of Harvey and Irma caused, but it’s still a heart-warming gesture all the same. If your account is registered to an affected area then perhaps check your emails to confirm if your membership has been extended – and we wish you all the best getting back on your feet.
