You can play any game online for free this weekend on PS5 and PS4 thanks to a new Sony promotion, but the times are quite specific.
Itâs been over two years since Sony last increased the price of certain PS Plus subscriptions, but it has warned another might be on the horizon in the near future.
If youâve already been priced out of a subscription, which allows you to play games like Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Arc Raiders online, youâre in luck this weekend.
Sony has announced a free online multiplayer weekend for PlayStation 4 and 5 players starting from Saturday, December 6, which will span 48 hours in total.
When does the free PS Plus online multiplayer weekend start and end?
As highlighted by Sony, the promotion kicks off at 12.01am local time on Saturday, December 6, and runs until 11.59pm on Sunday, December 7.
During that window, you can play any online games you already own for free, so if youâve already got Battlefield 6, for example, you can squeeze a few rounds in without needing to pay for PS Plus.

Itâs important to note this free weekend will not allow you to redeem games available at the PS Plus Essential tier this month, and only applies to the online multiplayer functionality.
Another note for those unaware, you donât need a PS Plus subscription to play free-to-play games online, such as Fortnite or Apex Legends, so take advantage of this offer by diving into something else on your digital shelf.
The PS Plus Essential line-up this month is more stacked than usual, with five games instead of the usual three. These include the excellent Neon White, Lego Horizon Adventures, Killing Floor 3, The Outlast Trials, and Synduality Echo Of Ada.
If youâre subscribed to the PS Plus Essential tier, youâll be able to claim all these games from now until January 6, 2026. If you add the games to your account during this time, youâll always have access to them as long as you have an active subscription.
