PS Plus Premium Adds Two-and-a-Half Hour Trial for Saros

The timed trial preserves save progress plus Trophies so subscribers can carry playtime into a purchased copy to help decide whether to buy.

Overview

  • PS Plus Premium quietly introduced a 2.5-hour full-game trial for Saros on Monday that lets subscribers play the complete title at no extra charge.
  • Progress made during the trial and any Trophies earned transfer into the full game if players buy the title after the trial ends.
  • Saros is a 2026 PS5-exclusive roguelite third-person shooter from Housemarque that has received positive reviews, holding a Metacritic average around 87.
  • The game remains full-price on the PlayStation Store at $69.99 and is not currently discounted according to reports.
  • Publishers have issued small post-launch updates such as Photo mode and extra Trophies, and some outlets have reported slower-than-expected early sales while noting the Premium-only trial could limit reach.
