August's batch of European PlayStation Plus content (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/419450/eu-playstation-plus-nfs-most-wanted-free-to-subs-in-august/) includes Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Mafia II and Spec Ops: The Line.
Sony will use the PS4 (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/392432/playstation-4-is-official-sonys-most-powerful-platform-ever-launching-holiday-2013/) launch later this year to make a number of significant changes (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/415602/video-details-playstation-plus-features-on-ps4/) to its PlayStation Plus subscription service.
PS4 owners will be required to subscribe to PS Plus (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/412527/ps4-multiplayer-requires-ps-plus-subscription/) in order to play online multiplayer, which isn't the case on PS3 or Vita.
The thinking behind the decision to charge customers for online multiplayer on PS4 was explained to us by Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida in June (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/413823/sony-ps4-multiplayer-fee-will-fund-improvements/).
