No Trial versions

Jump to Best Response

No "Trial" button showing up on my Pixel device for any of the new trial offers. Only the button to buy the game. I've played a few trial games and they have all had the "Trial" button. Last game with a trial that worked was Chorus. I only play on my Chromecast Ultra. Do trial offers only work on web browsers? App and phone are both up to date.

@TwoDogs So I found a previous post with the same issue and it looks like trials only work mostly with web browser for now. I say mostly because it seems like after you start the trial on web, you may be able to see it on certain Google TV app. You can read the Best Response from the following post for more info:

Also be aware that once you start a trial, the timer doesn't stop even when you close the game. So make sure to start the trial when you have plenty of time to cover the duration of the trial.

@TwoDogs Which trial games were you trying to play? I can try to check if I see the same thing on my device.

Screen shot of MotoGP with just the buy button. All the other "Trial" versions are the same.

@TwoDogs I can confirm that I'm seeing the same thing. I feel like I've read something about this before. Let me ask around and I'll update here if I have any update.

Dragon Quest is the one I wanted to try and no "Trial" button on that one either.

The Riders Republic trial wasn't long enough for the amount of cut scenes they wanted you to watch. I didn't notice the timed trial deal and felt like it was 55 min of cut scenes and 5 min of gameplay. Had I read it properly I would have skipped them all! :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
