PlayStation is holding a free online multiplayer weekend. In a tweet, the Sony-owned company announced that players will be able to access the multiplayer modes in PS4 and PS5 games, without having to pay for a PS Plus subscription. The access runs for two whole days, from December 10 to December 11, and allows you to test drive the multiplayer features with a friend or go head-to-head with others online. All you require is a stable internet connection and a PSN (PlayStation Network) to sign into the services.

A PS Plus free weekend would be a great incentive to test out new builds, hairstyles, and battle alongside friends in team fights.

Earlier this month, Biomutant, and the new fighting game Divine Knockout to their library. As usual, the publisher will drop an additional set of titles, reserved solely for the higher tier plans — Essential and Deluxe/ — later this month, which would also include a classics catalogue.

Call of Duty titles would drop on the same day, across either platform. However, a Bloomberg report suggests that PlayStation had been “raising objections” and showing 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,” Xbox head Phil Spencer told Bloomberg (via VGC). “From where we sit, it's clear they're spending more time with the regulators than they are with us to try and get this deal done.”

PlayStation Plus' free online multiplayer weekend will be up across two days — December 10–11.
