Call up your friends, grab your DualShock 4, and get ready for some multiplayer gaming action this weekend. We’re bringing back free online multiplayer to all PS4 owners starting this Friday, courtesy of PlayStation Plus.
Free multiplayer access begins Friday, December 11th at 12:01 AM Pacific through Sunday, December 13, at 11:59 PM Pacific. What better way to check out the recently released free DLC Star Wars Battlefront Battle of Jakku before the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
To get started, log on to PlayStation Network during the free weekend period, launch your favorite multiplayer game, and you’ll instantly have access to multiplayer with your friends. There’s no membership commitment required to try out online multiplayer during this period.
If you are interested in learning more about what PlayStation Plus offers in addition to online multiplayer on PS4, such as free PlayStation Plus monthly games, exclusive member discounts, online game saves and more, head here for more information.
Enjoy!
So this is simply if I own the game already but not PS+? Well, that sucks :/ I wonder what the chances are someone owns Battlefront but has no desire for MP :/
It might make sense for someone who doesn’t have Plus and wants to rent Battlefront to check it out – otherwise, it’s odd to have Battlefront as the primary game in the advertising for this. There’s no single-player to speak of in Battlefront, right?
I JUST got the system and got Battlefront because I’m a huge STar Wars fan. I’ve barely got things put together yesterday, including a wireless connection, for now. A free weekend would be a great litmus test before I have to make new arrangements for online connectivity, as well as not waste part of my free PS Plus trial doing that.
Battlefront DOES have some single player content: a half dozen missions (hoping more come from upcoming DLC), some bot-based versions of some multiplayer modes, and the survival/horde mode. There is no CAMPAIGN, but I don’t recall BF3 or 4’s campaigns as being all that impressive either, so it’s probably for the best. And again, that doesn’t preclude the inclusion of something like that as future DLC.
It’s not a robust single player experience, but there IS content for that scenario.
ya, that was quite the stupid decision sony made as to what game to put up. My guess is 100% of people that bought battlefront have ps+.
This is me EXACTLY. Not a multiplayer guy so there isn’t any need for plus. I bought battlefront for the times where I feel like getting some star wars fix. usually after watching the movies. singleplayer is bad but it does the job to fill these tiny urges i get every now and then lol
My friend, who is a BIG Star Wars fan but short on cash, is one such person who owns Battlefront but not Plus. Ima let him know so he can trully see what the game has to offer.
What a shame. The fact that the PlayStation has always been free to play multiplayer games online is my key argument with the wife every time a new system comes out FML she’s got ammo for the next game system. I might be getting a Xbox next system an I won’t have much to say she’s coming at me with the you’ve had the choice for the past 3 systems please advise me now what do I do Sony?
