Pay online once PS4 is launched?

I was just wondering if anyone knows if I will need PS+ in order to access to the multiplayer component of a game on my PS3 once the PS4 is launched.

YES playstation plus subscription is now required for Multiplayer on-line games. The PS4 now has pay MP gaming. Keeping servers up and running costs. Sony has been more than fair.

Even on the PS3?

Even on the PS3?

As far as I know, your current PS3 will remain free to play for the online component, as it is right now.

I believe, so far the PS4 is the only console required for the PS+ membership to play the multiplayer. Will this change down to the line? I believe eventually it will as Sony will have to at some point push the PS3 owners to pick up the PS4.

I don't see that happening until few years pass however.

You will never have to pay to play multiplayer on ps3.

It's only for ps4.

PS3 and the Vita will remain free, only PS4 requires Plus to play Multiplayer Online

Thanks for the help. Much Appreciated.

The lack of new games will force PS3 owners to buy a new platform in couple of years. I don't see games staying cross-generational past 2015.

The first 3 months are free.

and don't forget other popular MP games like BattleField,COD and GTA. 

@Zoza24:

Trial is for 14 days only.

Yes but only for multiplayer, you can browse the web , watch Netflix etc. for free.

Also for those of us that have PS+ on ps3, it will carry over to ps4 which means I should have about 9 months from my 1 yr left
