Test Street Fighter V’s Netplay During PlayStation Network’s Free Multiplayer Weekend

To celebrate the launch of Street Fighter V, Sony has announced that they will be letting PlayStation 4 owners play online for free this weekend.

Though netplay typically requires an active PlayStation Plus subscription, this will allow people to jump in and try it out for themselves without spending any additional cash. Let’s hope Capcom has worked out the kinks by then.

The free multiplayer weekend, which is open to every game with an online component, starts Friday at 12:01 AM PST and lasts until 11:59 PM PST on February 21.
