A Top Game of 2024 Offers Free Trial on PS Plus Premium

Sony has announced a treat for its PS Plus Premium subscribers next month: the sci-fi and action-packed Warhammer 40K: Space Marine 2 will be getting a game trial. Having launched just a few months ago, this beloved grimdark shooter is now part of PlayStation’s 30th anniversary celebration set for December 2024, allowing premium members a chance to dive into its thrilling world for free.

Saber Interactive, the creative minds behind Space Marine 2, have received heaps of praise since the game launched in September 2024. By October, the game had already attracted over 4.5 million players, and the community continues to grow. While the developers faced some criticism due to recent updates, they quickly addressed community concerns. Furthermore, with fresh content on the horizon this December, there’s plenty more excitement lined up for players.

For those eagerly anticipating more from Space Marine 2, particularly on the PS5, there’s something extra to look forward to next month. According to a post on the PlayStation Blog, a trial version of Space Marine 2 will be available on PS Plus Premium starting December 3, 2024. Infrequently do games of such high profile grace the PS Plus Premium trial offering. The last high-profile addition was Stellar Blade back in June 2024, making this upcoming trial a notable event.

Celebrating PS Plus Premium’s December highlights, in addition to the new game trial, subscribers will be treated to three classic PS2 games: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves. While fans await details on how long they can try out Space Marine 2, big AAA title trials on PS Plus Premium typically run for about two hours. It’s a curious prospect to see if this trial will boost sales of the game as well.

The anniversary celebrations extend beyond just trials and classics. PS Plus Essential subscribers are in for a treat as they will receive 2021’s Game of the Year, It Takes Two, alongside the Pokemon-inspired MMO, Temtem, and the strategy game, Aliens: Dark Descent.

In Space Marine 2, players embody a legendary Space Marine facing off against the galactic horrors in epic battles across distant worlds. Whether you’re defending humanity solo or teaming up with a couple of friends in cooperative mode, there’s plenty of intense, fast-paced action waiting. Crush the relentless Tyranid swarms, embark on brutal missions, and prove your unwavering dedication to humanity. With various multiplayer modes and the promise of thrilling combat, this game is sure to keep players engaged and entertained.
