apparently you need a subscription to play PS4 games online

December 26, 2015, 04:35:35 PM

literally the reason I chose it over the Xbone was for free multiplayer

sony are a bunch of jerks tbh

Girl of Mystery · December 26, 2015, 04:37:13 PM

Is it 2013 again?

This is hardly a little known fact.

Septy · December 26, 2015, 04:38:48 PM

It's been like this for years

Mat Cauthon · December 26, 2015, 04:43:58 PM

Was it ever free on PS4?

Not on PS4 no

Although I'm fairly sure PS+ is only required for multiplayer, unlike Xbone last I checked

mojo · December 26, 2015, 04:49:04 PM

they added the subscription req when the ps4 was released

sorry m8arade

MS changed it so you don't need XBL Gold to use Netflix and stuff, like how you don't need PS+ for anything besides multiplayer.

They're near identical services now.

I wasn't expecting to ever get a PS4 but my grandparents bought me one

Elai · December 26, 2015, 08:36:15 PM

I'm pretty sure it's up to the devs/publishers to require PS+ on their games.

That being said, it should be free. That goes for every platform.

it's not like you had to actively search for the information. it was kind of a big deal after the ps4 reveal

You don't have to be well versed in the world of gaming to know that this is old news.

GAMERG0D · December 28, 2015, 12:52:20 AM

The only games worth playing online are Black Ops III and FFXIV, and the latter requires a separate subscription and not PS+ required.

Blame Microsoft for setting the shitty precedent.

there wasn't a big sony conference in 2013 or anything, with multiple articles popping up afterwards addressing the new PS+ requirement.

I assume this is meant to be read in a sarcastic tone. Gaming doesn't often pop up in mainstream media and nobody seemed to want to talk about it much since then online. Just last year I remember seeing a thread where 50+ people were also under the assumption that PSN was free to play online.
