Here’s how trial versions of games will work in PlayStation Plus

The new PlayStation Plus is upon us: the new Sony subscription will arrive on June 22 and, among the new proposals, we also find the possibility of trying the games for a limited period (only for Premium subscribers) . New information has leaked on the net regarding this feature for PS4 and PS5. As Game Developer reports, only games priced above $34 (about €33) will be forced to offer users a limited-time trial period: notably, the time players have must be at least two hours. However, these rules do not apply to previously released titles or PlayStation VR games. This trial version will therefore be essentially identical to the full game, but limited to only two hours. Some games may still offer a “custom” demo version with original content, but the “standard” trial version of at least two hours described above must always be provided. For teams of few people, creating the trial versions of the games will certainly take extra effort, but according to Kotaku’s Ethan Gach, there will be no need to worry: a team from Sony PlayStation will take care of creating timed versions of games.
