PS5 Will Let You Check Out Games Before Purchase - UK Tests New Feature
Residents of the UK can test temporarily Death Stranding: Director's Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure on PlayStation 5. However, the debut of the new service has not been without controversy.
- Residents of the UK can now try out Death Stranding Director's Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure on PlayStation 5 for a limited time;
- The time it takes to and install the titles is included in the limit;
- Reddit jsnals found an easy way to get around the limitation by creating an additional on the console.
Sony Interactive Entertainment Sackboy: A Big Adventure (5 hours).
All progress and trophies earned during the trial period will carry over to the full version if players decide to purchase it.
In theory, this is a great way to see if you want to spend the funds on a particular title. However, it quickly became apparent that the feature didn't work as well as PS5 owners might have hoped.
The time limit does not apply from the moment the game is first played, but rather from the moment the clicks the "" button in the console menu or the "Add to library" button in their web browser. In other words, includes the process of ing and installing the data, which can be quite a problem when using a slow internet connection.. Especially that the trial period on a given can be run only once. Interestingly, according to the message received by s, this is a deliberate action of the Japanese company.

But what are the Reddit s for? One of them found a trivial way to work around this problem. An Internet known as jsnals recommends creating a new with the same region as the main profile and then using it to the trial version. When the installation is complete, just switch back to the main , go to the game tab and select " trial version". Since the game is already on the disk, the can immediately use it and enjoy all the time they should be able to do so.
The service may not have had the best of launches, but its very presence on PS5 bodes well for console s. The games included in the trial period may cause that no one will miss the demos anymore.
