PlayStation consoles and games up for grabs, no Plus subscription needed

To celebrate the first anniversary of its revamped PlayStation Plus system, Sony is rolling out an enticing giveaway and the best part?

No PlayStation Plus subscription will be necessary.

It’s been a full year since PlayStation introduced its shiny new PS Plus model and to mark the occasion, we’re getting a plethora of giveaways, freebies, and festivities.

“We’re celebrating this wonderful milestone with 10 days of activities for the PlayStation community”, Sony promised.

PlayStation Plus freebies

Although most of these offerings are exclusively for PlayStation Plus subscribers, the bulk of the festivities are open to all.

PlayStation said giveaway merch includes a PlayStation 5, a PS VR2 headset, and a PS VR2 Sense controller.

And yes, Sony is not excluding its loyal South African members. The giveaway is open from today until 3:59 pm on 30 June.

Unrestricted access

In addition to giveaway, PlayStation said in on its official blog they will also be launching a PlayStation Plus free weekend.

From June 24 to June 25, non-subscribers will enjoy unrestricted access to online games without requiring a Plus subscription.

Plus subscribers are not left out either. The most recent batch of complimentary games are set to occupy over 450 hours of gaming, a substantial amount by any standard.
