Exclusive PS Plus Premium Trial: Dive into the Controversial Sensation of 2023

Highlights

PlayStation Plus Premium members can now play the divisive game Atomic Heart for a limited time, giving them a chance to form their own opinion on the controversial title.

PS Plus Premium subscribers enjoy a range of perks, such as complimentary access to chosen PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP games, as well as the chance to try out new games for a limited period.

In the August 2023 collection for PlayStation Plus Premium, players can look forward to highly acclaimed titles like Lost Judgment and Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, along with debut releases including Moving Out 2 and Sea of Stars.

Premium tier members of PlayStation Plus now have the opportunity to try out Atomic Heart, one of the most controversial new games of 2023. In addition to this trial, PS Plus Premium subscribers enjoy a range of benefits not available to the other two tiers. These members have access to select PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP titles at no extra cost.

Furthermore, PS Plus Premium members can explore various games for a limited period, giving them the chance to play these titles for a few hours. While many games offer two to three hours of gameplay, there are some trials that can last for up to five hours. The list of games available for these trials includes highly acclaimed titles such as God of War Ragnarok, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Complete Edition, The Callisto Protocol, Park Beyond, and many others. Sony consistently updates this comprehensive list, and currently, Atomic Heart is accessible to PS Plus Premium subscribers.

PlayStation Plus Premium members can enjoy playing Atomic Heart at no extra cost for up to two hours. It's important to note that all PS Plus Premium trials include the full version of the game, and players' save progress will carry over if they decide to purchase it. Although two hours may not seem like a significant amount of time, considering that an average playthrough of Atomic Heart takes around 15 hours, this trial allows users to experience a substantial portion of the game. Furthermore, completing the entire game will take even longer, as achieving a 100% run of Atomic Heart can take approximately 35 hours to finish.

Atomic Heart received mixed reviews upon its release, earning a score of 70 on Metacritic for its PS5 version. The launch of Atomic Heart was further marred by controversy, resulting in Ukraine calling for a ban on the game. However, a new trial period will now allow gamers to form their own opinions during a two-hour period.

For PS Plus Premium users, access to the complete lineup available to Extra members is granted. In August 2023, Sony added a total of 17 new games to the collection. This impressive list includes titles such as Lost Judgment, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen, Two Point Hospital: Jumbo Edition, Cursed to Golf, and more. Additionally, Moving Out 2 and Sea of Stars were launched as day one releases. As a bonus, PlayStation Plus Premium members can also enjoy playing Pursuit Force: Extreme Justice, Ape Escape: On the Loose, and MediEvil: Resurrection, in addition to the games added to the Extra tier this month.
