Current subscribers won't see the new price reflected in their bills until after July 31st, but everyone will be paying $5 more starting at the end of the month. Add-ons and standalone channels are not affected though.

"At PlayStation, we are always evaluating the PS Vue service to ensure we are providing a compelling value to our customers. Unfortunately, we must increase the price of our multi-channel plans to keep pace with rising business costs and enable us to continue offering a better way to watch the best in live sports, entertainment, and news," Sony said.

Sony added that subscribers will continue to have access to five simultaneous streams, cloud-based DVR, and multi-view on PS4, as well as one of the most loaded channel lineups on the market. The only difference is that they'll be paying more for access to all of those features without getting anything new.
