So not everyone is all too thrilled that Playstation Plus is going to require an online subscription starting with the PS4. There is good news in all of this, however. Dual Shockers has discovered an interview with Sony’s Shuhei Yoshida, Sony Worldwide Studio President, where Yoshida confirms that there are special cases where games like free to play titles and MMOs will not require PS+ in order to play online.
You will need it to enjoy online multiplayer. This will also depend on the judgement by the publishers, and there will be some free to play titles that you’ll be able to play without needing a PS Plus subscription, like PlanetSide 2 and DC Universe Online.
Purchasing Playstation Plus on the PS4 will continue offering the same perks gamers receive on the PS3 and Vita now, including beta access, a laundry list of free titles updated each month, heavy discounts in the store, and more. Yoshida also notes in the interview that asynchronous gameplay may also be available to non-PS+ users, depending on what the publisher wants.
