Unlike on PS3, a PlayStation Plus subscription is required in order to game online with PS4. This weekend though, Sony is making online gaming free for everybody. Andy Lum:

 We’re back with another free multiplayer weekend in time for the launch of Street Fighter V — the latest chapter of the legendary fighting franchise and a console exclusive on PS4.

Starting this Friday, you’ll be able to access the online multiplayer modes in any PS4 game without a PlayStation Plus subscription. 

More info after the jump.

I had always kind of assumed that if you had a PS4, you also had PS+, but I guess there must be enough gamers out there without it that Sony is running such a promo.

 Free online multiplayer access begins Friday, February 19th, at 12:01 AM Pacific and runs to Sunday, February 21st, at 11:59 PM Pacific. Hop on to PSN during the free weekend with your favorite multiplayer game — no membership commitment is required during this period.

Do you have a PS+ membership?
