Valve introduces a new feature on Steam, starting with the highly anticipated Dead Space remake in 2023: game trials.
This addition simplifies the process for players, as they can now experience a 90-minute trial of the game before making a purchase, eliminating the need for the previous two-hour return window.
Currently, Dead Space stands as the sole game offering a trial on Steam, but this feature holds potential for expansion to other titles in the future. The remarkable aspect of the Dead Space trial is that players can freely indulge in the game without the need for a purchase, enjoying a full 90-minute trial period. Moreover, the trial isn’t limited to a specific point in the game, granting players the freedom to explore and experience as much as they desire within the given timeframe.
Valve, along with other publishers, is undoubtedly closely observing the reception of this new feature to determine its viability for implementation in other games. The Dead Space remake, which can be purchased for $48 on Steam, serves as a testing ground for this trial system, potentially paving the way for its adoption in future titles.
