Sony recently unveiled their new upgraded tiered version of PlayStation Plus, and one of the more overlooked Premium tier features is the inclusion of “time-limited game trials.” Not a lot has been revealed about this particular bullet point, but according to a new report from Game Developer, it seems Sony is looking to push the feature hard.

Apparently, an update to Sony’s PlayStation development portal recently informed devs that any game that will be sold for $34 or more will now need to provide a time-limited trial for PS Plus Premium subscribers. These trials will need to last at least two hours, and be made available within three months of a game being published on the PlayStation Store. The trials then need to be made available for at least a full year. While it seems like most of these trials will be relatively-simple “try the game for X hours” deals, Sony is also open to custom-crafted demos, although those would have to be specially tested and approved. Of course, as with any inside report, take this with a grain of salt for now, but it all sounds fairly plausible.
