Gamers, here’s some exciting news: Nacon has just rolled out a free trial for their latest PS5 racing game, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. This means you can dive into this game and enjoy everything it offers until December 31, absolutely free. Just remember, if you’re hoping to hit the online tracks, a PS Plus membership is necessary.
PlayStation 5 Users Get First Dibs on the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Trial
Right now, this game trial is up for grabs only on the PS5 through the PlayStation Store. While there is buzz about extending these trials to other platforms, Nacon has yet to share any solid plans or timelines on that front.
Nacon recently tweeted about the trial, clarifying that this free play period started on December 27 at 9 AM UTC and will continue until December 31 at 9 AM UTC. This is your chance to cruise around the vivid streets of Hong Kong Island and picturesque Ibiza in some stunning vehicles. Don’t miss out!
Despite launching back in September 2024, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown didn’t quite rev up everyone’s engines in the way it hoped. Its Metacritic score sits at a lukewarm 55/100 for the PS5, and a mere 7% of critics on OpenCritic endorse it.
Critics have pointed fingers at various rough spots and an underwhelming presentation, especially noticeable when compared to other popular racing titles. Although it boasts a ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ label on the PS Store, what impact this has remains a bit of a mystery.
If you’re eager to make up your own mind, now’s the perfect chance to give it a whirl on both the standard PS5 and the PS5 Pro. As for whether your progress in the trial will transfer should you decide to get the full game later, Nacon hasn’t provided any clear answers, and neither does the PS Store page. Time to put the pedal to the metal and see for yourself!
