Exciting news for PS5 gamers: a fresh opportunity to dive into a racing adventure without spending a dime! Nacon just announced that their racing title, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, is now available for everyone to play for free from today until Tuesday, December 31. The catch? You will need a PS Plus membership for online play, but other than that, there are no limits to the fun.
The trial version of Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is ready for download on the PS Store but is currently only accessible on the PS5. While Nacon has hinted at free trials expanding to other platforms, they’re keeping those details under wraps for now.
During the trial period, from December 27 at 9 AM UTC to December 31 at 9 AM UTC, players can explore thrilling locales like Hong Kong Island and Ibiza’s capital city. Imagine cruising behind the wheel of some truly remarkable cars, all at no cost.
Despite this grand opportunity to test the game, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown launched in September 2024 to somewhat mixed reviews. It currently scores 55 out of 100 on Metacritic for the PS5 version, and a mere 7% of critics on OpenCritic recommend it.
Most of the negative feedback hinges on its lackluster presentation and several unpolished aspects, especially when stacked against other racing games out there. While the game sports a ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ label in the PS Store, it’s unclear how significantly this impacts gameplay.
Curious players now have the chance to form their own opinions and try out the game on both PS5 and PS5 Pro formats. As of now, Nacon hasn’t clarified whether any progress made during the trial will transfer to the full game. Unfortunately, this detail is also missing from the PS Store’s trial page. So, why not hop in and see what this racing universe has in store for you?
