Our Steam Free Trial is designed to give a full taste of Dual Universe to any new player interested in the game, without limits and completely free of charge. The trial runs on a separate server that is a copy of our main, persistent server but with a few key differences to help you fully try the game:
- Gameplay is accelerated, meaning that the markets are seeded with useful items at greatly reduced prices. You’ll still need to make money on your own, but you should be able to afford the elements you’ll need to easily try any game aspect.
- The Free Trial Server is regularly reset. This means that all accounts are deleted, and the server restarts completely from scratch periodically. You’ll receive a notice on logging in at least one week prior to the next reset date. The frequency of these server resets is yet to be finalized.
Other than that, the Free Trial is an exact copy of retail Dual Universe. There are no limitations.
You can build and customize almost anything your imagination demands, from castles housing factories to stations, space trucks, sleek warships, and the Lua scripts that drive them all. You can gather and refine ores, trade, or even enforce claims on the highest tiers of resources by force of arms. Become a leader, manufacturer, pirate, trader, or just explore and collect what other players have to offer.
The Free Trial is available now on our Steam page. You’ll need a Novaquark account to play. You can do so simply by following the on-screen instructions in the game client.
Please note that once you’ve purchased a subscription on your Novaquark account via Steam, the Free Trial server will no longer be accessible on that account. You can however always create a new one to return to the Free Trial server as we don’t use your Steam account to log in to the client.
For instance, if you have friends playing on the Free Trial server but your account has already purchased a subscription, you can simply create a new one to join them.
If you decide to purchase Dual Universe after the trial, you can buy the game directly on Steam!
