Summer is nearly over, meaning the time to bundle up and stay inside playing video games is almost here. Luckily Sony is giving anyone with a PlayStation console some extra incentive to do just that.
On Monday, Sony announced that PS4 and PS5 owners can use multiplayer modes for free from Aug. 27 until Aug. 28, 2022. No need for a PlayStation Plus subscription (PS Plus) of any kind! Of course, you’ll still need a PlayStation Network account, though attaching a credit card shouldn’t be necessary. Finally, an excuse to dig out that copy of GTA Online and remind yourself of how relaxing off-road joyrides with friends are.

Naturally, this is only a temporary promotion. So should the multiplayer bug bite, you’ll have to shell out cash for a PS Plus membership. The premium tier offers many free titles like Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut, and Control: Ultimate Edition for PS5. Meanwhile, PS4 gets games such as Bloodborne, Darksiders III, and Fallout 4. There’s a lot to choose from, frankly.
Some brilliant titles like Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 and Yakuza: Like A Dragon dropped on PS Plus this month, while Dead By Daylight and Metro Exodus are among other recent additions.
