As of this news post, the free to play offer is not available on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.

The latest update focuses on making the driving experience feel more natural and consistent across the board. Grip to slip transitions have been smoothed out, braking feels more stable and both traction control and ABS behavior have been dialed in to respond more realistically.
Players should also notice improvements in force feedback and controller response, along with better throttle and turbo behavior. On top of that, car to car contact has been reworked to deliver more believable collision interactions during races and much more.
