PlayStation has dropped another new game time-limited trial for PlayStation Plus Deluxe members, this time for last year’s surprisingly-successful Sonic the Hedgehog title, Sonic Frontiers.
Like other PlayStation Plus Deluxe game trials, you’ll be able to download the full game to your console and play for a set amount of time – in this case a fairly brief one hour – before either purchasing the game to continue on your progress or quietly thinking to yourself, “That was nice,” and never touching it again. It’s certainly going to get you a better idea of whether or not the game’s for you than the weird, 15-minute demo that Switch owners got earlier this year.
For what it’s worth, we thought Sonic Frontiers was pretty good when when we reviewed it last year, saying “Sonic Frontiers is an unsteady first run at the open-world genre for the blue blur but Sonic Team has crafted something endearing and immensely enjoyable all the same.”

The game has also just received the first of three major, free content updates, which contains the following:
- Photo Mode – Frame up, edit, and capture your favourite moments in Photo Mode! Capture Sonic in action across a variety of landscapes and create the perfect photo. You can also choose between seven filters to add some flare to your photos.
- Juke Box – Play your favourite tracks while exploring the Starfall Islands, which include tracks from Sonic Frontiers and past Sonic games! You can listen to any of the 53 songs anywhere in the open zones – 13 of which are instantly unlocked and playable as soon as the game is updated. Unlock the remaining 40 songs by collecting Sound Memories across the five islands. Keep an eye out for orange music notes!
- New Challenge Modes – After finishing the campaign, test your skills with new challenge modes
- Cyber Space Challenge Mode – Race through seven Cyber Space Stages back-to-back in this time-attack mode while competing against the clock!
- Battle Rush Mode – Battle through several rounds against increasingly tough enemies, guardians, and Titans in this timed battle mode! Aim for the fastest clear time with your levelled-up Sonic. If you achieve a higher rank, you may get a special surprise
