PS Plus’s new game trials vary massively in length

techradar.com:

The game trials included in Sony’s revamped PS Plus subscription service will let you play a selection of titles for hours before purchase, but will vary hugely in length.

As the new version of PS Plus has rolled out across Asia, Premium subscribers have been able to dig into the game trials for themselves. As shared on Twitter(opens in new tab) by user @PS_Vortex, screenshots of the PS store show the trial lengths of several games that are currently available (thanks, Eurogamer(opens in new tab)).

Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077 are listed as supporting five-hour full game trials. Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection and WWE 2K22, meanwhile, offer less than half that time at only two hours of free access.

As full game trials, the demos give you complete access to the complete games, only limiting the length of time for which you can play them. That might go some way to explaining the disparity between trial lengths. As open-world RPGs, Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077 offer players plenty to do and see, and can’t necessarily be captured in a short two-hour period.
