Gamers who want to download Death Stranding: Directors Cut and Sackboy: A Big Adventure on their PlayStation 5 consoles can do so now, until October 28. The trial for Death Stranding: Directors Cut will be six hours, while Sackboy: A Big Adventure will be for five hours, according to the report. These free trials will begin from the time players start downloading the game, according to the report.

This means that those gamers who have faster internet connections will be able to play the game longer than those with slower speeds. While this might sound unfair to some users, the report also suggests that Sony might be working on adding PS5 games to the PlayStation Now streaming service for games. This will mean that users will experience less friction while downloading games in the future, especially when one considers the possibility of connection issues that could cut down the free trial time even further.
