PlayStation introduces free game trials for first-party titles, with a catch

nme.com:

Sony has introduced game trials, where select first-party titles are available for a free trial period, but the way the trials work requires a word of warning.PS5 titles are what the offer focuses on as explained in a PlayStation email sent out yesterday (October 1).

For now, Death Stranding: Director’s Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure are the only titles that are part of the game trials, with them playable until October 28.The problem is that there’s a pretty big catch for how these game trials actually work.

Players have a limited time from when they select “download trial” on the PlayStation store to actually play these games. That means the download time is calculated as part of the game trial itself.Game trials are also limited to PS5.
