Earlier this month, Sony sent emails to customers informing them that their PlayStation 5 would gain access to certain game titles as part of Sony Game Trials. These games can be played for free for a limited time. It appears that gamers who own the older PlayStation 4 consoles can also jump in on the action. Sony Game Trials also includes the Biomutant free trial and the games under the scheme can be played for a fixed amount of time before players are asked to buy the game.

The arrival of Biomutant as part of the Game Trials is a clear indicator that the trial service will not be exclusive to current-gen consoles. Also, any rewards, trophies and scores will be brought to the full game – if a purchase is made after the trial concludes.

How to play Biomutant for Free on PlayStation 4 in October

Game Trials from Sony are offered to users for a total period of five hours, after which the game will ask you to purchase it before you are allowed to continue playing. This means that users can simply download the trial at any time between, now and October 28 local time. This is the first title in the Sony Game Trials, and users can expect to see more titles arrive in the future.

However, one big challenge remains. Biomutant's trial will begin from the time you hit the download button, so if you have a slow internet connection, you may have far less than five hours to play the game. This can be extremely frustrating for users with slower connections as the entire trial period may get significantly reduced.
