Not got a PlayStation Plus subscription? Not a problem, as Sony has made multiplayer free this weekend. By the time you’re reading this article, the trial period will have started, and it will run through 00:00 PDT on Monday, 10th August. That means you’ve got almost 48 hours to enjoy online gaming without podding out for a pricey subscription.
The timing is particularly pertinent, as titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Borderlands 3 are free to try this weekend, so you can hop online with your friends and see what you’ve been missing out on. Remember, it is still worth subscribing, as this list of all free PS Plus games in 2020 illustrates.

Fair play..... I guess.
It’s not a PS Plus trial, only the online multiplayer portion is free.
@digidude 'It’s not a PS Plus trial, only the online multiplayer portion is free.'
That reminds me of an episode of Peaky Blinders...
"The Russian wants to see you".
"I am not Russian, I am Turk".
"Same f*ckin thing".
So will this trial grant me the ability to play Fall Guys for free?
The days of paying for multiplayer access are numbered, with cross-play + free to play + console exclusives on steam, neither sony or microsoft will be able to justify charging for online access for much longer
@stuzster Don't worry... this free trial doesn't grant access to Fall Guys. I just checked. It's not truly a free weekend of PS+. It's just a weekend of being able to play online.
Could always do the unethical thing and just create millions of accounts to get the free ps+ trial on each. 🤷♂️
@nookie_egg What would that achieve?
@FredBiletnikoff Unlimted free ps+....? I am not saying I have done it, or condone it, just saying it's an option.
@nookie_egg It doesn't matter whether you condone it or not, it's not possible. No matter how many accounts you make, they will all expire at the same time.
@FredBiletnikoff Didn't say you did them all together...
@nookie_egg I don't think you get this, it's not possible to get unlimited ps+ from this.
@FredBiletnikoff Absolutely is. New regional accounts can be created for a new trial each time. Never said it was worth the time investment, never said it was worth doing. I'm just saying it's possible.
@nookie_egg No matter what region you're in, none of the trials will work after 00.00 PDT on Monday.
@FredBiletnikoff This has gone a lot further than I thought from a throw away comment but there are enough videos on yt about how to use the free 14 day trial (or week or whatever it is these days) and then change region/register for another account.

...so no option to get it for my son's account and do an online backup of saves for example?
@nookie_egg Apologies, it seems like we were talking about 2 different things. I thought you were meaning to exploit the offer referred to in this article and somehow stack them, not the generic free trial.
I love my PS4 but the Xbox game pass is what PS Now should be.
"Remember, it is still worth subscribing, as this list of all free PS Plus games in 2020 illustrates."
I couldn't care less, and it isn't.
Paying for online play on console will be the talk of next gen if MS are considering getting rid of it, Sony will follow suit but at later date or they merge it with PS Now for say £80 a year
@FredBiletnikoff sorry for any crossed wires
