We all knew confirmation was coming, and now it's official: there's going to be an open Uncharted 4: A Thief's End multiplayer beta this weekend. We've already gone over the details - which you can read through here - but there's one more nice surprise to be shared, at least, if you're not a fan of Sony's premium service.

Naughty Dog wants as many people as possible to play so that it can properly stress test the servers - and in order to maximise the amount of potential players, it's revealed that you won't need a PlayStation Plus subscription to take part.

Provided that the servers actually survive the inevitable onslaught, we don't see much reason to miss out on this relatively short beta. You'll be able to download it from the PlayStation Store starting later today.

Will you be joining in on the grenade-lobbing, roll-spamming, cover-hugging fun this weekend? Pull an unsuspecting foe into the comments section below.
