Online multiplayer is free this weekend on PS4
From Friday through Sunday, you won't need PlayStation Plus to battle buddies online on PS4.
Sony is lifting its PlayStation Plus requirement for online multiplayer access on PlayStation 4 this weekend. This means online multiplayer will be free for all PS4 players from Friday, December 11th at 12:01AM PT to Sunday, December 13th at 11:59PM PT. Playing online usually requires a PlayStation Plus subscription, which costs $10 monthly, $18 for a three-month bundle or $50 for an entire year. A Plus membership also guarantees at least two free games and a lineup of discounts every month.
Star Wars: Battlefront is the latest blockbuster game to hit consoles and it happens to be a multiplayer-only experience. This weekend of free multiplayer allows Star Wars fans to try out the new game -- and, if Sony's marketing plan works out, buy a few months of PlayStation Plus afterward.
