Nacon's new open-world multiplayer racer, Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, launches for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on September 12. The game marks the long-awaited return of the Test Drive series, which has been on hiatus since 2012. Solar Crown will be the first entry in the series published by Nacon, as the franchise has switched hands numerous times since its original debut way back in 1987. Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown will let players explore a vast open map from behind the wheel of real-world luxury cars, and engage in online races against other players.
While the launch is still a few months away, racing game fans can preorder Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown now on PC or console. Doing so gets you a few bonus items, and can even unlock early access to the game up to a week before launch. PC players can also save on their Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown preorders when they purchase the game at Fanatical. Let's go over all the places where you can preorder Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown, the preorder bonuses, and all the early discounts available.
