Sony recently added a free trial for one of the most controversial games of 2024 to PlayStation Plus Premium, meaning members of the service can give Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League a shot without having to spend a single extra penny. Though some may have preferred a more well-received game to be added instead, trials like these allow PlayStation Plus players to test out divisive games and make judgments for themselves on titles they may not have touched otherwise.
Despite some announcements of major departures lately, PlayStation fans have been treated to a number of high quality releases across all three tiers of Sony's Game Pass-like subscription service. Titles like Dave the Diver, Marvel's Midnight Suns, Resident Evil 3, Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier, and Tales of Vesperia are only some of the best PlayStation Plus games added to the Extra and Premium tiers of the service in recent months. In addition to the inclusion of new titles from PlayStation's ever-expanding library of games, however, PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers are also given the ability to try out a select number of recent releases at no additional cost with the «free trials» feature.

The fact that the game ended up being a disappointment to most made the eight-year wait between this title and 2015's Batman: Arkham Knight all the more dreadful.
Nonetheless, there were still some players who were willing to go to bat for the critically-panned game, pointing out the enjoyable gunplay, excellent voice acting, and solid character writing as major highlights. Ultimately, though, it's safe to say that the title didn't resonate with the majority of gamers, as Suicide Squad failed to live up to the sales expectations that Warner Bros. Discovery had for the game. The Steam player count for the game paints an even more unfortunate picture, with the title currently sitting at a 24-hour peak of 189 players at the time of
