Perfect World Games’ Sky Wang announced the conversion’s free-to-play nature on PlayStation platforms in a lengthy PS Blog post. It previously announced three paid pre-orders with 48-hour early access and in-game items, but these are optional and you can try the game for free on August 8. This MMO-style game will be compared to Genshin Impact due to its art style, but HoYoverse is mostly offline. Besides questing and fighting, there’s a social hub with mah-jong and unlockable cars and motorcycles. The Ultimate Edition, which matches Sony’s latest console, gives PS5 and PS4 players a blue car.
