The holiday season is upon us—a time to gather with family and enjoy feasts that seem to magically replenish themselves. But let’s face it, the holidays aren’t exactly friendly to our wallets. Thankfully, PlayStation is here to lighten the financial load for gamers with some tempting deals. Think free online multiplayer weekends and sweet movie discounts for PS Plus members.
Mark your calendars for December 6, 2024. That’s when PlayStation kicks off its free online multiplayer weekends. For those two days, gamers can dive into the online features of their favorite titles without shelling out a dime. This opportunity is available for both PS5 and PS4 aficionados, running until December 8, 2024.
But wait, there’s more! The same weekend ramps up with several PS5 esports tournaments. Whether you’re into EA Sports FC 25, NBA 2K25, or Tekken 8, this is your moment. The lineup also includes Mortal Kombat 1, Madden NFL 25, College Football 25, UFC 5, MLB The Show 24, and Guilty Gear Strive. If you own any of these games and meet the entry requirements, sign up via the Game Hub or the in-game PlayStation Tournaments button to compete for avatars and other cool prizes.
PS Plus subscribers, it gets even better for you this holiday season. From December 10 to 23, PlayStation is running a sweepstakes where 30 lucky winners per participating country will snag a 30-month Premium membership. All you need to do is play a game from the Classics Catalog with a Premium membership to enter. A bunch of countries are in on the action, including Austria, the United States, and South Korea, among others.
And if that isn’t enough, PS Plus members can enjoy a generous 30% discount on over 100 movies on Sony Pictures Core from December 3 to 9. Catch titles like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Gran Turismo. Plus, nab a 12-month PS Plus membership, and you’ll score movie credits for the Sony Pictures Core app. Now that’s a reel deal!
