A brand-new PlayStation 5 game is now offering an exciting opportunity for gamers: a free trial that lets them dive into the action with no limitations. Nacon recently revealed that their racing title, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, will be available for free starting now until Tuesday, December 31. The only catch is that you’ll need a PS Plus membership to join the online fun.
Currently, this game trial is exclusively available for PS5 owners. You can already find it on the PS Store, and while Nacon has hinted at extending the trial to other platforms, they’re keeping us in suspense about the details for now.
On Twitter, the folks behind Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown shared the good news, inviting players to explore the thrilling roads of Hong Kong Island and Ibiza in some top-of-the-line vehicles.
Despite making its debut in September 2024, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown didn’t quite set the world on fire. The PS5 version sits at a modest 55/100 on Metacritic, and a mere 7% of critics on OpenCritic would recommend it. The criticisms mainly revolve around the game’s lackluster presentation and some rough patches, especially when put up against its racing game peers. Although it carries the ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ badge on the PS Store, its real-world impact is still a bit of a mystery.
For those willing to give it a whirl, you can check out the game on both the PS5 and PS5 Pro to see for yourself. However, whether your progress in the trial version will carry over if you decide to purchase the full game remains unanswered, with no hints on the game’s PS Store page either.
