Sony has officially announced that you'll be able to access PlayStation Plus for free starting this weekend, although you won't have forever. Given all the other announcements PlayStation has made recently, it's nice to see something a little more positive.
If you've been paying attention to all the latest gaming news (hopefully here on ScreenRant), you'll know PlayStation has officially announced it plans to stop producing discs from January 2028 and move into an all-digital future. Between this and the ongoing price increases, it's fair to say 2026 hasn't been the best year for Sony. Then again, it's pretty much the same story across the board.
As such, you'd think a little free PlayStation Plus might help cheer everyone up a bit. Over on the PlayStation X account, they confirmed that from July 3 to July 5 you'll be able to access online multiplayer without the need for a PlayStation Plus subscription. Unfortunately, this only seems to have served as a reminder to many that having to pay a subscription fee to play games online is outrageous. Sometimes you just can't win, can you?
Ostensibly, this particular PlayStation Plus free weekend is so players can take EA Sports FC...
