PlayStation is offering a unique opportunity for gamers with a free online multiplayer weekend. In an announcement on Twitter, the Sony-owned company revealed that players can enjoy multiplayer modes in both PS4 and PS5 games without the need for a paid PS Plus subscription. This exciting event will take place over a span of two days, from December 10 to December 11, allowing gamers to test out the multiplayer features, team up with friends, or compete against others online. All you need is a stable internet connection and a PSN (PlayStation Network) account to access these services.
A PlayStation Plus membership starts at Rs. 499 per month for the Essential tier, which provides three free games every month and online multiplayer access. Unlike PC gaming, console players are required to pay an additional fee to play games with others online. This online multiplayer weekend is part of all three PS Plus tiers—Essential, Extra, and Deluxe/Premium—and offers added benefits such as a monthly games catalogue, cloud storage, exclusive discounts, and more. Recently, Elden Ring released its highly-anticipated, PvP-focused Colosseum update, allowing players to engage in thrilling duels with other Tarnished in new gladiator-style arenas. The PS Plus free weekend serves as the perfect opportunity to explore new character builds, hairstyles, and engage in exciting team battles with friends.

This month, PlayStation revealed exciting additions to its December game catalogue, available to members across all three PS Plus tiers. Subscribers can add the immersive sci-fi RPG Mass Effect Legendary Edition, the post-apocalyptic shooter Biomutant, and the new fighting game Divine Knockout to their library until January 2. Additionally, higher tier plans like Essential and Deluxe/Premium will receive an exclusive set of titles later this month, including classics from the catalogue.
According to Sony’s financial report from last month, the PS Plus service experienced a decline in subscribers, losing nearly 2 million since its June relaunch, bringing the total down from 47.3 million to 45.4 million within the last quarter. The company also secured a 10-year contract from Microsoft, ensuring that future Call of Duty games would release simultaneously on both platforms. However, a Bloomberg report suggests that PlayStation has expressed concerns and displayed a lack of interest in the deal.
“There’s been one game industry participant that’s really been raising all the objections, and that’s Sony, and they’ve been fairly public about the things that don’t meet their expectations,” stated Xbox head Phil Spencer in an interview with Bloomberg. “From where we sit, it’s clear they’re spending more time with regulators than with us to try and get this deal done.”
The free online multiplayer weekend offered by PlayStation Plus will take place over two days—December 10 to 11.
