It may only be Monday, but Sony is already gearing up for the weekend. The company has announced that it will unlock PlayStation 4 multiplayer this coming weekend, meaning anyone can play online as much as they want--no PlayStation Plus membership required.

The weekend promotion runs from Friday, February 13 through Monday, February 16. That's a US federal holiday--Washington's Birthday. February 14, meanwhile, is Valentine's Day.

The PS4 is Sony's first console to mandate a subscription for online play. PlayStation Plus memberships cost $50 per year, but also include bonuses such as free games every month and more.

February's free PS4 titles for PlayStation Plus subscribers are listed here, along with the freebies for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita.
