This is amazing. It is free for this weekend only (1-4th March) but even if that's the case, the full game is yours for the life of your PS Plus subscription. 

Get it while its hot if you don't have it already :)

WARNING: 40.8GB download for those of you on data caps!

To download - be sure to go to 'Exclusive Discounts'

I believe it's only free for those four days.

I can see them offering the MP free for the life of Plus eventually, like what they did with Killzone 3. However, this looks to just be a weekend deal right now (as in it will have a timebomb for only allowing free access for the weekend).

 

edit: Specifically states 8 days on the store.

Yup it's just an open weekend.

#Deploy as many times as you like throughout the event and carry over all of your progress if you upgrade to the full game.

Important Notices

? KILLZONE? SHADOW FALL Open Weekend runs from 00:00 AM (CET) 4 March 2014 to 00:00 AM (CET) 12 March 2014.

hang on, is this free multi only or single player too?

Single player AND Multiplayer. 

Thats why im saying its awesome and go grab it :p

When you click download it gives you the option which you want to download first; single player or multi player.

Not bad, SP can obviously easily be finished in 8 days.

fantastic. def. going to try this one out. thanks!

This is the third free KZ4 weekend in EU since launch. It is multiplayer only (but you must download the SP too - which can't be played without purchase) and in EU is ONLY available for PS+ members. This edition has in-game locks so that it can't played outside of these events without purchase. Finally, the savegame is not compatible with disc versions of KZ4...

Lol buzzkill award goes to you...

If SP can't be played the save game wouldn't matter would it? Aren't your characters stored on Sony's servers?

 

Either way, sucks about SP.

Not available at all here in the USofA.....

I was dissappointed to not see it when I went on earlier to try and download it. So is this confirmed as only for the EU?

Now that I hear its MP only, I'm not as excited. I was more interested in at least a demo of the SP.

My point was just that it makes a new savegame that doesn't affect the disc copy - it only wastes cloud space if you allow it to upload automatically.

Anyway, looks like they removed the PS+ requirement for this event (on webstore, at least) - guess the store team were being overly cautious... lol

I was more interested in at least a demo of the SP.

Numerous in-store demos are available that haven't yet made it online.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
    • Because of what they have done to VMware I will never buy anything Broadcom again.
    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
