Steam Gets The First Trial Version of The Game With a 90-Minute Dead Space Promotion

Steam Gets The First Trial Version of The Game With a 90-Minute Dead Space Promotion. What just happened? Steam was one of the last major gaming platforms that still didn’t have a free trial mechanism outside of an EA Play subscription. With a limited-time trial of Dead Space, Valve follows other major gaming companies such as EA, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo.

Electronic Arts allow anyone to play the remake of Dead Space on PC for free for 90 minutes until May 29. The time-limited demo version is the first for Steam, although publishers have long allowed such trial versions on consoles and other PC game launch programs.

Click the “Play Now” button on the Steam client screen to install and launch the trial version of Dead Space before the promotion ends at 13:00 Eastern Standard Time on Monday, May 29. whoever decides to purchase it can immediately continue playing after the expiration date. Dead Space and many other EA games have already gone on sale. The latest games, such as FIFA 23 and NFS Unbound, are sold at a 70 percent discount.

Most other trial game systems are tied to a subscription, including EA Play, which offers a small selection of 10-hour demos on Steam, the EA client, PlayStation, and Xbox. Oddly enough, EA currently does not offer a demo version of Dead Space on other platforms, including its own. The only way to play it through EA Play is to use an EA Play Pro subscription through the EA launcher.

Sony and Nintendo also offer trial versions along with their subscriptions. Sony has a wide selection of limited-time demos for PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, while Nintendo Online subscribers must wait for trial games during periodic events.

The most liberal “try before you buy” system from a major gaming company is Ubisoft. No subscription is required to test major Ubisoft releases, such as Far Cry 6 or Rainbow Six Extraction. Some of them, such as Extraction, are time-limited, but others, such as Far Cry 6, implement progress constraints.

Ubisoft offers its demos on all platforms except Steam, even for games available on Steam, such as the recently released Far Cry 6. With the introduction of temporary trial versions by Valve for the general Steam user base, it is possible that Ubisoft will stop excluding demos from the platform, although it still delays the release of games on Steam.
