Dive into the latest offering for PS5 gamers—Nacon has rolled out a free trial of its racing game, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Starting today, players can enjoy the game entirely free until the close of Tuesday, December 31. Keep in mind, if you’re planning to hit the tracks online, you’ll need an active PS Plus membership.
### Experience Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Exclusively on PS5
Right now, the trial is exclusively available on the PS Store for PS5 players. While Nacon has teased forthcoming trials for other platforms, we’re left waiting for more specifics on those releases.
On December 25th, a tweet from Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown announced this exciting opportunity, inviting players to cruise through Hong Kong Island and the bustling streets of Ibiza without limitations. From December 27th at 9 AM UTC through December 31st at the same time, your only concern is which exceptional car you’ll choose to drive!
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown made its debut in September 2024, but so far, reception has been mixed at best. It’s currently settled at a 55/100 score on Metacritic for PS5, with only a mere 7% of critics on OpenCritic willing to recommend it among your racing game options.
Much of the critique surrounds the game’s less-than-stellar presentation, especially when measured against its peers in the racing genre. It bears the ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ badge on the PS Store, though the impact of this enhancement is still a bit of a mystery.
If you’re curious, it’s a prime opportunity to try it on both the PS5 and PS5 Pro and see where you stand among the opinions. As of now, it’s unclear if any in-game progress during the trial will transfer should you decide to purchase the full game. Unfortunately, this detail isn’t listed on the PS Store’s trial page either, so you’ll have to weigh that in your decision to test-drive this offer.
