Recently, a new PlayStation 5 game hit the scene, and it’s offering an exciting opportunity for all gamers—no strings attached. Nacon has announced that their latest racing title, Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown, is now open for a free trial period. Gamers can dive in from today right up until Tuesday, December 31, without worrying about any content restrictions. However, those looking to enjoy the multiplayer mode will need to have a PS Plus subscription.

Currently, the free trial is available exclusively for the PS5. You can find it ready to download on the PS Store. Nacon has mentioned plans to release free trials for other gaming platforms, but so far, they’ve kept the specifics under wraps.

Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown’s initial launch was back in September 2024, but it hasn’t quite captured the hearts of reviewers. The game sits at a 55/100 rating on Metacritic, based on its PS5 iteration, and only a small fraction of critics—7% to be precise—on OpenCritic are giving it a thumbs up.
The feedback has been a bit rough on Solar Crown, with most of the concerns pointing to its lackluster visuals and some unfinished elements. It does carry a ‘PS5 Pro enhanced’ badge on the PS Store, but it’s unclear just how much of an improvement that really offers.

Despite the mixed reviews, this free trial is the perfect chance for players to check out the game on either PS5 or PS5 Pro and make up their own minds. As of now, Nacon hasn’t confirmed whether progress from the trial will carry over to the full game. And unfortunately, this detail isn’t mentioned on the PS Store’s trial version page either.
