PS5 launches limited free trials with Death Stranding and Sackboy: A Big Adventure
All the news coming to PS Now this month
If you have a PS5, you will be interested to know that Sony has just introduced the possibility of be able to download and play selected titles from the PS Store. In some parts of the world, you can already download Death Stranding and Sackboy: A Big Adventure, which will be available until October 28.
These tests will allow players play up to a certain time limit (between five and six); this time starts counting from the moment you start downloading the game from the PS Store, so if you have a faster line you can make the most of these trial periods. Accounting is therefore not a question of playing time, as Electronic Arts play tests, for example, work.
In the communication that Sony sent to players, it is detailed that these game tests are only for the PS5 versions and that any DLC purchased during this free period can only be used after the time limit has expired if players purchase the Game. .
Do traditional demos have their days numbered?
For now, these are the first tests Sony is doing with this new service, so it remains to be seen whether it becomes mainstream each month, whether it is limited to exclusive Sony games, or whether other companies are joining their launches. . If this type of time-limited playtest became common, we wouldn’t be surprised if move the traditional demos of always, so that development studios can better invest the time they devote to it.
