A new opportunity has just popped up for PS5 enthusiasts: you can dive into the world of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown without dropping a dime. Nacon, the game’s publisher, has announced that their racing title is now available for a free spin. This trial is up for grabs starting today and runs through Tuesday, December 31, with absolutely no content limitations. However, remember that an online play will require a PS Plus membership.
This exclusive trial for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is currently available only for the PS5 console. You can snag it right from the PS Store. While Nacon has hinted at the possibility of free trials for other platforms, they haven’t released any specifics yet, leaving us all guessing about what’s coming next.
On Twitter, the game’s official account shared this exciting news, letting fans know they can jump into the game from December 27 at 9 AM UTC until December 31, 9 AM UTC. You’ll have the chance to explore iconic locations like Hong Kong Island and the vibrant heart of Ibiza, all from the driver’s seat of some truly spectacular cars.
Since its launch in September 2024, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown has received mixed reactions. On Metacritic, the PS5 version holds a score of 55 out of 100, and only a scant 7% of critics on OpenCritic are giving it the green light. Critics haven’t held back on their disappointment, particularly targeting the game’s underwhelming presentation and noticeable flaws when stacked against its racing genre peers. Although it sports the ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ badge, its actual impact remains somewhat ambiguous.
Nonetheless, this free trial provides a chance for players to form their own opinions. Venture into the game on your PS5 or PS5 Pro and see for yourself. Just a heads up, though: Nacon hasn’t confirmed if any progress made during the trial will transfer to the full game, and this detail appears to be absent from the PS Store’s trial version page.
