Valve has quietly introduced 90-minute game trials to Steam, with the feature making its debut in conjunction with EA's Dead Space remake., the new 90-minute trial version requires players to first install the full game then hit the"play now" button to begin their free trial period, whereupon a timer will keep track of the minutes still remaining.
There doesn't appear to be a progression cap on the trial, meaning players are free to continue as far as they can before their hour and a half expires. Presumably the feature is intended to fulfil a particular gap in Steam's marketing arsenal, providing a formalised way to trial the kinds of linear, longer-form titles such as Dead Space that wouldn't ordinarily be suited to the extended free weekends already available on Valve's store - and all without a publisher needing create a bespoke demo beforehand.
Regardless of how the feature might roll out in the future, the current Dead Space 90-minute free trial will remain available until Monday, 29th May. It coincides with a 20% discount on the remake, bringing the price down to £39.99, which ends on the same day.
