All the free PS Plus Premium trials you get with a subscription to Sony's top membership tier are easily one of the most underrated features of the service, but not when they're this short. A new limited-time trial for Hogwarts Legacy has just gone live on the PS Store, and it's… 45 minutes long. That is not even enough time to complete the prologue and get to the castle.
It's better than nothing, of course, but every other PS Plus Premium Time Limited Trial we are tracking clocks in at least one hour, with some offering three or even four hours of play. This one will only give you a very brief taster of Hogwarts Legacy, learning some basic magic and exploring Gringotts. You've also got to consider whether it's even worth downloading such a sizable game to only have access for three-quarters of an hour.
Still, if you've been on the fence about playing the Harry Potter simulator, then this is your chance to go hands on if you have PS Plus Premium. Will you be doing so? Let us know in the comments below.

Premium proving once again that it just isn’t worth the price tag — for me, at least, despite upgrading for a fiver.
