As the holiday season approaches, many of us look forward to spending quality time with family and indulging in festive treats. However, the season’s cheer can often take a toll on our finances. Fortunately, PlayStation is stepping up to ease some of that burden for gamers with a series of enticing deals to help you save money during this busy time. Among the highlights are free online multiplayer weekends and exclusive discounts on movies for PS Plus subscribers.

Kicking off on December 6, 2024, PlayStation is offering its users the chance to experience online multiplayer features without any extra cost.

This complimentary multiplayer access runs until December 8, 2024, creating the perfect opportunity to enjoy some online gaming magic.

Coinciding with this, a range of PS5 esports tournaments will be launched during the same window. Gamers can dive into competitive action with popular titles such as EA Sports FC 25, NBA 2K25, Tekken 8, Mortal Kombat 1, Madden NFL 25, College Football 25, UFC 5, MLB The Show 24, and Guilty Gear Strive. Those who own these games and meet the qualifications can enter the competitions from December 6 through December 8, vying for a chance to win avatars and other cool prizes. PS5 players can simply sign up via the Game Hub or use the in-game PlayStation Tournaments button.

If you’re a PS Plus subscriber, there’s even more in store for you. During the holidays, PlayStation is hosting a sweepstakes event from December 10 through December 23. Players stand a chance to win a 30-month Premium membership, with 30 winners selected from each participating country. To join in, all you need to do is play a game from the Classics Catalog through a Premium membership. The countries taking part include Austria, Cyprus, and many more across Europe, South Africa, and select Asian regions.

Meanwhile, from December 3 to December 9, PS Plus members can enjoy a 30% discount on over 100 movies available on Sony Pictures Core. The catalog features favorites like Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Uncharted, Gran Turismo, and Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Additionally, buying any 12-month PS Plus membership comes with movie credits for the Sony Pictures Core app, sweetening the deal.

So, whether you’re in it for the gaming action or the movie bargains, PlayStation’s holiday offers serve as the perfect treat to complement your festive celebrations. (Source: PlayStation Blog)
