It’s no secret that games are pretty pricey, with a new major release setting you back around £69.99 or more if you opt for a collector’s or deluxe edition. With that in mind, the concept of try before you buy feels more important than ever.
Not only do you not know if you’re going to enjoy your rather pricey purchase, there’s also the chance that it might not play very well. Cyberpunk 2077 is an easy example to raise. While it may be a stunning game in its state today, it certainly wasn’t back in 2020 when players had just spent their hard-earned cash on a bug and glitch-ridden mess. We’re all familiar with PlayStation Plus Premium’s free trials but even that service is rather pricey. What you might not know is that the PlayStation Store is actually home to 369 free trials, available for you to sample at no cost and without a subscription.
