E3 2013: PS4 online multiplayer requires PS Plus

Online multiplayer on PS4 will require a PS Plus subscription, confirmed in the above video produced by Sony demonstrating physical disc game sharing on PS4.

Existing PlayStation Plus members – or even those who sign up from here on out – will find their subscription extended to PS Vita, PS3 and PS4. The PS4 launches Holiday 2013 for $399.

-OH-NO- for all you Xbox guys i was like you "they got rid of what made it good", well not necessarily PS+ Gives you online gaming but what you guys don't know is that you also get access to a bunch of services that Xbox doesn't offer. also with PS+ you get 1 free game every month and access to the PS+ games that have already been released overtime and there is a ton of PS+ games, so overall PS+ is a better service than Xbox Live Gold, and thus why i'm still going From the Xbox 360 to the PS4


You do know that Xbox is getting 2 free games a month, while your PS+ is only getting 1?

Congrats, you're getting Halo 3 and Assassin's Creed 2! Wohoo, totally worth that 65 a year right! I bet. /s/

I wonder what will replace the "XBL is crap PSN is better cos it is free" argument fanboys use.

And people b*tch about the Xbox having a paid subscription for online use, it was only a matter of time before Sony did the same thing.

Anyone who was clever enough would of get the recurring deal from the dashboard last year of gold for $2 a month and best of all, it lasts forever!

in my mind this a good thing because this means better services for the PS4 and it will be more secure.

Antoldi95 Of course now there is going to be a "Gold" (Plus) Edition for the PS4.


This entire war is hilarious! Nobody seemed to notice the amazon link for 12 Months of God plus a free Month which is $50. Also on the dashboard they have all kinds of specials for Xbox Live. Last summer they had Gold for $1 a month for I think 3 months. Also Xbox Live does get all content before PlayStation and it will remain that way, Microsoft is more connected to the community than Sony. On an end note, PS+ is complete shit, you get 5% discounts and a bunch of useless stuff.
