There aren't any new Classic games to play as part of today's PS Plus refresh, but there is one bonus PS Plus Premium members can take advantage of: a new Limited Trial for today's hot new release Rollerdrome. It's available to download now with an active membership, and you can sample the first hour of the game. If you like what you play, you can save a good amount of money with a PS Plus discount that drops the price by almost £10/$10 to £16.49/$19.79.
We posted our Rollerdrome PS5 review earlier today, awarding it an 8/10 because of how well it plays and that utterly beautiful art style. "If there's an award for game feel, Rollerdrome wins it by a country mile. Roll7 has crafted a short but supremely sweet experience that feels incredible to engage with. No matter whether you're performing tricks or blasting enemies, its addictive loop will have you coming back for more," we concluded.
Will you take Rollerdrome for a spin? Let us know in the comments below.

I’m really enjoying the game. It’s excellent.
I did the trial and the bought the game but normally on PS5 when there is also a PS4 version when you purchase you can get both versions? I only seem to have bought the PS5 version. Sometimes I like to replay it all over again on the other version to get those trophies
Played the trial and bought the full game straight after. Looking forward to finishing work and playing it properly.
Trial actually only seemed to be 35 minutes for me. But it’s okay, I was buying it anyway.
I read the title as "PS Plus Premium Trial" and now I realize I need to read every title w/ + in it 8 times. 😝
It's included in the service you pay for, not free.
I promise I'd stop with the trolling but it's pretty pathetic that Sony js trying to pass a demo as a selling point for it's "premium" tier
@TicklefistCP Everyone understands what "free" means in this context, but someone has to be "that guy".
@naruball He has a point in my opinion. It's not free in any sense of the word, like all content behind a sub paywall. I get mildly irritated by people choosing to describe access to content on a subscription service as free in articles. It just plain innacurate, why do it?
Meanwhile...I'm going to try the trial 😊 it's free because I have Essential 😁
@riceNpea On the contrary, it's not inaccurate at all.
"Free" also means "at no additional cost". So, when you visit a hotel and they offer "free breakfast" with the room, that means that you won't have to pay for breakfast (only for the room), because breakfast is part of the deal, unlike other hotels that charge you for it. That doesn't mean that you can go to the hotel and enjoy x, y, and z without paying for a room first.
It's the same here. It means that, if you have that subscription, you won't have to pay extra to play the games for around 2 hours.
1+1free doesn't mean that you can just get the second one for free. It means that after you pay for the first one, the second one comes at no additional cost. Same with countless other examples, like getting in clubs and using your ticket to get a free drink. Is it free? Yes, because it comes at no additional cost.
1 hour for premium is stingy. Especially considering that I'm downloading an entire game. That's where streaming comes in handy I guess.
@tameshiyaku It’s not even an hour. It’s 35 minutes. Probably should correct this article.
@naruball
The hotel analogy doesn't work because when you enter into a contract to stay in a hotel room your expectations are not that there will be frequent additional benefits made available to you during your stay for the money you've already paid. Same goes for BOGOF. You're getting exactly what you paid for and what was advertised, you got 2 for the price of one, there's no expectation of anything else coming your way in the future, the contract between you and the provider is fixed.
A sub model is dynamic. When you pay your sub, for however long you have access, you are expecting any and all fresh content added periodically to the service after day 1 of your sub to be bought and paid for until the sub ends.
If there were free content on a subscription service you can bet that version of the service would have adverts 😁
@naruball
I get it, that one guy that misses the broader point to state the obvious finer point can be annoying. However with gaming services becoming more and more the norm, the sales-centric language being used toward us is something we need to correct, not excuse.
