NHL 23's trial is now active and comes with all the game modes unlocked

EA Play's trials apply to all recent releases and offer 10 hours of full gameplay. During that time, players can access all game modes included in this year's release.

To access the trial, players must choose the trial edition from a player's respective platforms. Since the game is only available on consoles, players must go to the dedicated stores and select the trial from the available options.

This will allow players to download and install NHL 23 on their system, and then players will be able to enjoy the game. As mentioned above, all the modes will be available irrespective of the generation of consoles. It won't require additional costs separately from the amount required for an EA Play subscription.

There are certain benefits to the trial aside from the fact that it doesn't cost anything more. The trial also covers the early access period, which is only available with the X-factor edition. This will allow standard edition buyers to enjoy up to 10 hours of gameplay and continue their journey from October 14.

The trial's progression can also be retained if someone hasn't bought the game. Once the trial is converted to a full release, all the progress made will be transferred. This is an excellent option as it allows players to try the game and retain the progress they make. In addition, they will also keep hold of any rewards they have earned.

Many new features have been added to NHL 23, with crossplay being interesting. Before this, players were restricted to their platforms when matchmaking was a concern. That will no longer be the case as Xbox, and PlayStation players will be able to play against each other.

Additionally, EA Sports has made the crowds and stadiums much more authentic, as the new atmosphere will match real-life situations. Additionally, ice hockey stars in the game will now make much more realistic movements. This is in tune with how they often make last-gasp moves to score a goal. All of these can now be enjoyed in NHL 23 with the EA Play trial, and players can play solo or against each other.
