Players who own a PlayStation version on PlayStation 5 will be able to access and test this early version by navigating to “Settings” and then “Preview” within the game*. This preview includes “the new Tricky Trials Update, so you can venture into the trial chambers, meet a breeze, craft a mace, and more”.
