Today we’re finding out that Sony is bringing out free multiplayer this weekend. That means if you don’t have a PlayStation Plus subscription, you can still join in online and play some of your favorite games.

This news came from the official PlayStation Blog website. Sony noted that they are throwing together a PlayStation Plus Festival of Play. It’s their goal to bring out new and engaging experiences for players.
