Sony experiments with F2P in Uncharted 3 multiplayer

Console giant takes tentative steps into freemium business model

PS3 owners are being offered the chance to download the multiplayer part of Naughty Dog’s Uncharted 3 for free.
The developer and Sony have decided to split the game into chunks as PS3 takes further tentative steps into the burgeoning free-to-play sector.

Players will be restricted to a Level 15 cap, after which they can choose to pay for an extension to Level 25 or to remove the cap completely all the way up to Level 75.
Any advances made while being capped will be remembered and automatically implemented if a player pays up, Joystiq reports. Naughty Dog has also pledged to continue developing for the title, with two men at the studio dedicated exclusively to it.
A host of other premium DLC will be available, too, including extra characters. The game’s co-op components and single player section will also be made available as premium downloads.
