Why does this charge appear?

When Sony processes payments for PlayStation Plus subscriptions through its billing system, the transaction is tagged using the parent platform identifier "PLAYSTATION*" rather than the full subscription service name, because Sony's payment infrastructure routes all PlayStation-related purchases under a single unified merchant descriptor tied to the PlayStation Network account ecosystem. The asterisk following "PLAYSTATION" is a standard truncation separator used by Sony's payment processor to indicate that additional service-specific information follows, though many banks cut off the descriptor before displaying the full string. This means a $9.99 monthly charge showing as "PLAYSTATION*" on your statement is almost certainly your PlayStation Plus subscription billing automatically.
