Free Ultimate Getaway Awaits: Play ‘Test Drive Unlimited’ on PS5 This Weekend

Free to Play: Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown on PS5

Are you ready to hit the open roads without breaking the bank? Good news for PlayStation 5 gamers! The third installment in the Test Drive Unlimited series, TDU Solar Crown, is now free to play until the end of the year.

A Free Trial for PS5 Players

Announced on social media, PS5 gamers can download a free trial of TDU Solar Crown, the latest addition to the Test Drive Unlimited racing series. However, there are a few caveats to keep in mind. Depending on your location, you might need a PlayStation Plus membership, which currently starts at $9.99 a month. Unfortunately, players based in Japan and South Korea won’t be able to take advantage of the free trial.

Server Issues and Compensations

The game has been plagued by server issues since its debut in September, with more than 300 issues reported at launch. Even after the first patch, uninterrupted gameplay remained elusive. To make up for the inconvenience, players were gifted an exclusive in-game car, a 1986 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe, during the second update. Expect a new patch and new compensation every two months.

New Expansion and Discounts

The good news is that TDU Solar Crown has released its first expansion, a return to Ibiza! This expansion brings new rides, races, and character fashions to the game. If you’re lucky enough to get some gameplay in, you can check out the new content in TDU Solar Crown Season 2.

Edition Upgrades and Sale

If you’re interested in upgrading to the Silver Streets Edition or Gold Edition, you’re in luck. Both editions are discounted by 40% to $47.99 and $53.99, respectively. Although the free trial ends on December 31 at 9:00 a.m. UTC (4:00 a.m. EST), the edition upgrades will be on sale through January 7.
