Along with many other world premieres, trailer debuts, and exciting accolades, the Game Awards 2022 announced that Forspoken, a highly anticipated Playstation 5 timed exclusive game, would have a playable demo available immediately. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the opportunity to access this new IP, and as of now, they officially have their chance.
Here’s the need-to-know for the Forspoken demo, such as where to find it, what prerequisites you’ll need to access it, and more.
How to Download Forspoken Demo
Finding the demo on the Playstation store may be a bit of a head-scratcher for some folks. The first step will be to find the Playstation page for Forspoken either through navigating the pre-sale menu or the search bar. From there, the immediate options will allow access to the pre-order for $69.99, add the game to the player's wishlist, and a button that shows three dots leading to alternative options.
Click the three dots. The second option they bring up will be a button that says ‘Demo.’ Clicking on the demo button will open to the Forspoken free demo page. From there, simply click the button that reads download, and the Forspoken demo will begin adding itself to the player library.
Prerequisites For Accessing The Demo
The demo is roughly 30.70 GB to download, so it’s best to ensure that there is ample space in the player library for the download.
As of now, the game demo is only available on Playstation 5. It is necessary to have a Playstation account and access to Wi-Fi to access the PS store, but the demo is entirely free.
On the Square Enix Forspoken site, players can review the 10-minute gameplay footage and learn more about what to expect from Forspoken's epic take on a brand new portal-fantasy world.
According to the Playstation Store, the demo allows players to dive into the Athian landscape and traverse with the game's unique magic parkour system. The demo will encourage players to complete five main objectives as the protagonist, Frey, works to learn more about the world she has been thrown into.
The timed exclusivity of Forspoken was recently confirmed to see the game remain on Playstation 5 until 2025. The game will also be accessible to PC players, though the demo is confirmed to be exclusive for Playstation 5 owners.
Forspoken will be released on Playstation 5 on January 24, 2023.
