TDU Solar Crown Release Date and Free Demo

[Ryzza5]

In case you hadn't heard, Nacon revealed via a new trailer the final actual yes really honest to goodness release date for Solar Crown, and launched pre-orders for Steam, PS5, and Xbox Series. Gold edition owners can begin playing on 4 September 2024, with regular plebs joining in on 12 September 2024, and the rest of you waiting for a sale sometime in December perhaps. In a surprise twist, an open beta test disguised as a free demo has been launched on Steam today, available to play for 2 weeks until 17 June 2024. Visit the Steam store to begin downloading and read the associated notes.

The demo skips the reported ~45-minute introduction and gets you online quickly. You are limited to a set list of vehicles, races, upgrades and dealerships and confined to the northern half of Hong Kong Island. You will have a chance to see if you vibe better with the Sharps or Streets, and play with friends.
Be sure to experiment with different options and driving assists and share your feedback. If you're unable to play, be on the lookout for a mountain of videos and live streams.

This demo takes place on a build of the game that is still in development. While the visual rendering is close to the final version, we are still refining the overall experience to ensure the best quality/performance ratio for the launch in September.

Excited for this to finally be released - hopefully it's as good as I'm hoping it will be.

I will not play TDU SC because the left side driving is not for me

Welp, my PC won't be able to run it at all.
