Sony has expanded its PS Plus Premium game trials with at least ten new additions. However, not all members are thrilled about the update. Many of the new trials feature obscure and indie titles, which, despite being highly rated, have led some members to question the value of the most expensive subscription tier.
Should Game Trials Be Exclusive to PS Plus Premium?
The main contention revolves around the nature of game trials, which are essentially demos. Many players argue that these should be available at the Extra tier, if not the Essential tier. Some believe that if Sony insists on locking trials behind the Premium tier, the focus should be on more popular, big-name games rather than smaller, lesser-known titles.
Community Reactions
On the PS Plus subreddit, the community is divided over the new batch of trials. Some players have noted that trials for games like “Metronomicon: Slay the Dance Floor,” which were previously part of PS Plus but later removed, have resurfaced.
One user expressed their frustration, saying, “Trials should be on Essential, not Premium.” Another remarked, “Two-hour trial for games never heard of… bold.”
On the other hand, some members defended the lineup, highlighting the availability of hundreds of trials, many offering several hours of gameplay, trophies, and progress transfer. They also suggested that trials are ideal for obscure games that players might not consider purchasing otherwise.
