Sony has introduced free game trials on PlayStation 5.

In an email sent to PS5 users on Friday, the platform owner announced that Death Stranding: Directors Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure can now be downloaded for free and played for several hours.

Game Trials are available through PlayStation Store until October 28, and the time limit begins when players start downloading, so those with faster connections will have more time with the games than others.

Death Stranding: Directors Cut can be played for six hours and Sackboy: A Big Adventure can be played for five hours, according to Sony Marketing.

Trials only apply to PS5 versions of the games and any DLC purchased during the free period will only be usable after expiration if users purchase the full game.

Recent patents suggest that Sony is considering adding PlayStation 5 games to its PlayStation Now streaming service, which could potentially provide gamers with a smoother way to try out games in the future.

The patent shows how Sony plans to bundle multiple high-speed NVMe SSDs and store the same information on them, with the goal of delivering high-speed data to a client device.

The description specifically uses games as an example and explains how information can be sent to the user from several different SSDs to ensure stable performance if an SSD is overloaded or dies.

The PlayStation Now software library includes over 700 PS2, PS3, and PS4 games that can be streamed to PS5, PS4, or PC, and over 300 PS4 titles that can be downloaded and played on consoles.
