A Top Game of 2024 Offers a Free Trial for PS Plus Premium Subscribers

Exciting news for fans of Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 – Sony has announced that this popular sci-fi action-adventure game will soon be available for a free trial under PS Plus Premium next month. Launched just recently, Space Marine 2 has quickly gained a loyal following, and with PlayStation gearing up for its 30th anniversary celebrations in December 2024, subscribers at the Premium tier are in for a treat with this trial of the much-loved, intense shooter.

Developed by Saber Interactive, Space Marine 2 has made waves in the gaming community since its release in September 2024, gathering both critical and commercial praise. By October 2024, it boasted over 4.5 million players, a number that’s likely to have only increased. There were some bumps along the road, with players raising concerns over certain updates, but the developers responded swiftly, making necessary adjustments. To sweeten the deal, a slew of new content is scheduled to hit the game in December 2024.

But that’s not all fans have to look forward to. According to a recent PlayStation Blog post, starting December 3, 2024, PS Plus Premium will offer a trial for Space Marine 2. This is quite a rare event, as notable game trials make infrequent appearances on PS Plus Premium. It’s been a while since the last high-profile trial—Stellar Blade’s—debuted on the platform back in June 2024, with no other new trials since.

As PlayStation marks its 30th anniversary, it’s a prime moment for Premium subscribers to dive into an engaging game trial like Space Marine 2. While the exact length of the trial hasn’t been confirmed, major titles typically offer a two-hour playtime on PS Plus Premium. It’ll be interesting to see if this trial results in a bump in sales for Space Marine 2.

In addition to the Space Marine 2 trial, PS Plus Premium will introduce a trio of beloved PS2 classics in December 2024. Fans can look forward to revisiting Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy. PS Plus Essential subscribers aren’t left out either; they’ll gain access to the critically acclaimed It Takes Two, the Pokémon-inspired MMO Temtem, and the strategic Aliens: Dark Descent.

Step into the boots of a Space Marine in an epic new campaign as legendary hero Titus. Players can tackle the hordes of Tyranids and defend humanity either solo or team up with up to two friends in cooperative play. Developed by the creators behind World War Z, Space Marine 2 delivers fast-paced, action-packed gameplay with hundreds of enemies to vanquish. Whether you’re engaging in brutal PvE missions or 6v6 PvP matches, this game promises endless excitement, all while honing your skills and personalizing your experience. Available across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, Space Marine 2 is ready to test your mettle in a galaxy where the fight for survival never ends.
