PlayStation Plus Premium members are in for a treat with the addition of a new trial for the newest installment in the classic fighting game series, Mortal Kombat 1.

Mortal Kombat 1, the latest entry in the iconic (yet controversial) fighting game franchise, can now be experienced by PS Plus Premium members for up to two hours at no extra cost. This trial period offers players the full version of the game, allowing them to immerse themselves in its fast-paced, action-packed gameplay. An important aspect of these trials is that any progress made in the game will be saved, so players can seamlessly continue their journey should they decide to purchase the full version.

The introduction of game trials is a strategic move by Sony to enhance the value of its premium subscription service. In an era where game demos often come as standalone experiences disconnected from the full game, Sony's approach lets players test the complete game without any barriers to their progress.

Mortal Kombat 1 will welcome several more guest characters over the next few years.

Mortal Kombat 1's addition to PS Plus Premium comes with a noteworthy file size of approximately 114.414 GB on the PS5, indicating the game's substantial content and graphical fidelity. The game, which received favorable reviews upon its release, boasts a Metacritic score of 83, situating it among well-regarded titles in the Mortal Kombat series. This trial allows players to explore various aspects of the game, including online multiplayer, the main story, and other available modes, providing a comprehensive glimpse into the game's offerings.
