Rumour: You Won't Need PlayStation Plus to Play PS4 Online This Weekend

I bet someone, somewhere, will complain that they've paid for X days and if this weekend is free, they want their subscription extending accordingly. :-/

I understand people who don't have Plus, if was just for the multiplayer i wouldn't have too, i have plus because of the games and discounts, just that.

Any news on the 10% discount for the PSN holiday downtime?

Its right next to Driveclub PS Plus Edition

@Punished_Boss_84 - Can I reply to your Driveclub comment w/ your Colbert gif? I'd actually forgotten all about Driveclub for PS+. Glad I'm not waiting for it, I'd never shut-up.

I was going to say The Last Guardian but thats not fair at all so you're

@Punished_Boss_84 Yup, you know I'm right!

Saying that almost half of the PS4 owners don't have PS+ is assuming that it's only PS4 users that have subscribed. That's a little misleading and when you take PS3 users into account (with its great PS+ game selection and 80 million install base) it's more likely that over 75% of PS4 users don't have PS+.

Also, I say this often, but it doesnt seem to make a difference in news articles, plenty of online games on the PS4 don't require PS+, so the statement that non PS+ PS4 users don't have online multiplayer is not very accurate. With the exception of PvZ, all PS4 games I play online don't require PS+, and seeing as how only about 25% or so of PS4 users have PS+, it's likely the case for many people.

Certainly a good way to get people to try online out,

@get2sammyb Sorry unrelated, but...

You need to up your game now Sammy

Awesome I run out on Wednesday! Well if I can hold on that long? Shadow of mordor is rock hard any tips anyone? ???

@Punished_Boss_84 - Nice pic, Knack makes it special, Gamer should have that as his avatar.

And yeah, TLG is funny at this point, but DC was kind of promised as a PS4 PS+ launch freebie in June 2013, about 18 months ago. That free incentive may have been enough for people to pre-order the system.

Did people who actually bought DriveCLub get their promised 3 months of PS+ that they said in Aug 2013 or did they forget about that as well?

"In addition to that, we have another announcement! Purchase Driveclub at retail or digitally via PlayStation Store, and you’ll get a free 3-Month PlayStation Plus Trial. This ensures you’ll get the most out of Driveclub and your PS4 from the get-go."

Kind of makes it even funnier now, no?

@Punished_Boss_84 - Yeah, thats pretty good. I'm surprised that much irony didn't break twitter. My favorite part, the PSN store lists it as

"DRIVECLUB™ PlayStation®Plus Edition Full Game Upgrade"

https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-gb/games/driveclub-playstationplus-edition-full-game-upgrade/cid=EP9000-CUSA00003_00-XXXXDRIVECLUBPSU

How do you upgrade a game they never released?

@rjejr
Maybe news is due soon, in other words...

Greatness awaits

@Punished_Boss_84 - "Greatness awaits "

Not a well planned slogan. Not nearly as good as the NY Mets 2007 slogan "Your season has come" though. If you aren't familiar, here's how Wiki said that season went:

"With a seven-game division lead on September 12, the Mets suffered a historic collapse by losing 12 of their last 17 games and missing the postseason. It is regarded as one of the worst collapses in MLB history."
