There’s a new chance for PS5 users to get their hands on a promising title without dipping into their pockets. Nacon has rolled out a free trial for its latest racing game, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, giving players a limitless opportunity to dive into the action starting today. This trial runs all the way until Tuesday, December 31. It’s important to note that to enjoy online features, a PS Plus subscription is necessary.
At the moment, this enticing trial is strictly available for PS5 users only. While Nacon has hinted at the possibility of extending these trials to other platforms, they’ve kept the specifics under wraps for now.
According to their recent Twitter announcement, from December 27 at 9 AM UTC to December 31 at 9 AM UTC, racers can freely roam the extensive landscapes of Hong Kong Island and experience the vibrant life of Ibiza, all from the driver’s seat of some exceptional vehicles.
Having hit the market in September 2024, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has sparked mixed reactions. The game holds a 55/100 score on Metacritic for the PS5 version, and a mere 7% of critics on OpenCritic have given it a nod of approval. The primary criticisms revolve around its lackluster presentation and a few rough patches, especially when measured against its racing game counterparts. Although it boasts a ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ mark on the PS Store, how significant this boost truly is remains a mystery.
For those intrigued, this trial is a great chance to form your own opinions as you take it for a spin on your PS5 or PS5 Pro. However, one question lingers: does your in-trial progress save if you decide to snag the full version? Unfortunately, Nacon has yet to clarify this point, and the PS Store’s trial page remains silent on the matter.
