FIELD DECISION / 01
Steps to follow
- Play the demo nowUse the official platform listing for Steam, Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo Switch 2; Nintendo Switch is listed for the full game but not in the official demo announcement.
- Keep the demo saveDo not delete or overwrite it before Sep 22. The publisher says it will carry over, but the final transfer path still needs a launch-day check.
- Verify the regional storeConfirm local price, bonus wording, unlock time, and download information on the store tied to your account.
WHY THIS WORKS
Why this route is reliable
Release date, demo date, save transfer, and bonus contents all come from current first-party listings or announcements. Store-dependent price and timing details stay timestamped instead of being presented as global facts.
IF IT DOES NOT WORK
Failure states and fixes
| Symptom | Check | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| The demo is not visible on Nintendo Switch. | Compare the official demo platform list with the full-game platform list. | Do not infer demo parity: the Sep 14 announcement names Switch 2, not Switch. |
| Your regional price differs. | Confirm currency, membership offer, and storefront region. | Treat this page as a dated snapshot and use the regional first-party listing for purchase decisions. |
LEDGER NOTE / 02
What is live today
The demo is a playable beginning rather than a marketing-only download. Its official Steam description says it runs from the opening through the introduction of The Town and estimates roughly three to four hours.
LEDGER NOTE / 03
What changes at launch
On Sep 22 this page will replace preorder language with live availability, record the shipping build, test save migration, and add verified download and patch observations without changing the canonical URL.
