Free Trial Available for All Players on New PS5 Game

A new PS5 game recently hit the shelves, and now all players can dive into a free trial to experience it firsthand. Nacon has rolled out a free trial for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, granting gamers unrestricted access to all its content. This opportunity runs from today up until the end of the year on Tuesday, December 31. However, keep in mind that you’ll need a PS Plus membership for any online play.

Currently, this free trial is a PS5 exclusive, available directly from the PS Store. While Nacon hinted at plans to extend these trials to other platforms, they haven’t yet shared any specifics.

In a recent tweet, the team behind Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown announced this exciting opportunity. It starts on December 27 at 9 AM UTC and runs through December 31 at 9 AM UTC, inviting players to explore the vibrant landscapes of Hong Kong Island and the storied roads of Ibiza, all behind the wheel of some stunning cars.

The game itself launched back in September 2024 but received mixed reviews. On Metacritic, it holds a score of 55 out of 100 for its PS5 edition. Over on OpenCritic, a mere 7% of reviewers recommend it as a must-play racing game.

Critics have largely pointed to its underwhelming presentation and lack of polish, especially when stacked against other titles in the genre. Though the game boasts a ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ badge on the PS Store, the actual enhancements remain somewhat unclear.

For those curious to form their own opinions, grabbing this free trial on either the PS5 or PS5 Pro might be worthwhile. Just be aware that there’s no word yet from Nacon on whether your progress in the trial will transfer over to the full game, and this detail is similarly absent from the trial’s PS Store page.
