PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers can now play a time-limited game trial for Marvel's Midnight Suns. Users in the Premium tier of PS Plus get access to a few more features in addition to the massive catalog of games available to subscribers in the Extra tier. PS Plus Premium lets fans stream PS3 titles, along with the ability to download select PS1, PS2, and PSP games.
Time-limited game trials are perhaps the most unique features of PS Plus Premium, as they allow gamers to play a full game for a set number of hours. This ranges between one and five hours depending on the game, but most titles offer a two-hour trial. PS Plus premium subscribers can check out AAA games like Horizon Forbidden West and Cyberpunk 2077 for five hours each, allowing them to get a taste of the gameplay mechanics before deciding to make a purchase. Now, Sony has added a notable new release from 2022 to the list of trials.
PlayStation Plus Premium adds a trial for Marvel's Midnight Suns to its catalog, letting fans play it for up to two hours at no extra cost. Players should note that this timer will begin as soon as they start the game, and users must close the application for it to stop counting down. Marvel's Midnight Suns features a day-night cycle where players go on missions during the day, but they can otherwise choose to spend their time in several different ways. Unlike the Persona series, time doesn’t pass when performing actions, allowing users to complete all the optional content for that day before going to sleep.
Users can spend time training party members, upgrading abilities, uncovering the many mysteries surrounding the home base known as the Abbey, or simply hanging out with their favorite Marvel character. There are even different clubs for users to join, each offering more backstory and unique interactions between the cast.
While two hours may be enough to form an early opinion on the gameplay mechanics and features, Marvel's Midnight Suns is a story-driven game with a ton of cutscenes in the beginning. It also takes a while for Midnight Suns to fall into a rhythm where players are performing their daily tasks in addition to going on missions with their favorite Marvel heroes, so the long intro may be too slow for some players. Still, the two-hour PS Plus trial will help users get a hands-on experience with Marvel's Midnight Suns.
Marvel's Midnight Suns is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with PS4, Switch, and Xbox One versions in development.
