It's not all champagne and high fives coming out of Sony's E3 press conference today. A "screw you, Microsoft" video the PlayStation team put together has some fine print underneath, which reads:
PS4 multiplayer online access requires PSN account & PS Plus subscription.
Now, this is far from terrible news. PlayStation Plus gives you access to a ton of free games (so long as you're a paid-up member), and competitors Microsoft have always charged for online play, something they'll continue to do with the Xbox One.
Still, the fact that online multiplayer was free on the PS3 will likely rankle a few.

We're reaching out to Sony for confirmation on this, and will update if we hear back.
