Is the PlayStation network free

Answer 1

nope. Your internet service could cost you money and a WiFi router or other equipment could cost you a one time expense, but unlike Xbox Live the Playstation Network is free. The only cost of the Playstation Network is purchases at the PlayStation Store or for individuals who join Playstation Plus for Special Playstation Store discounts and other member benefits like an automatic update system for all your games and devices.

Answer 2

The service of playing online with people, having a friends list, talking on headsets, and chatting is completely free as long as you have a broadband internet connection which obviously costs money every month. In the playstation network store, demos are free, but add-on game content and downloadable games cost money almost all of the time.

xbox you pay for

Answer 3

No downloading most of the Playstation games from the Playstation Store are not free and have a cost even if you have Playstation Plus you only get a few free games a month and some more with a reduced download price.

Answer 4

Yes the PSN or Playstation Network is Free or they have a Playstation Plus with free or discounted downloads for games and add ons and many other advantages for $50 a year. If you have free internet you will not have to pay for the Playstation Network like you do for Xbox Live or you can get the Playstation Plus for the same cost of Xbox Live

The internet service is something you must provide and the PS4 will not cost extra to use the Playstation Network from charges by Sony Playstation. Some people internet connection has a rate based on use rather than unlimited usage and that is what makes the answer complicated. Some other individuals think that the PS4 can use the internet without your already having an Internet Service Provider and the hardware to connect a console like a router or gateway modem
