The demo includes four playable characters, three stages and the first chapter of Story Mode and Arcade Quest, but no online play.

Bandai Namco’s free demo for Tekken 8 is now available on PlayStation 5 (with the Xbox Series X/S and PC versions coming December 21st). Requiring 28 GB of installation space on all platforms, it features Chapter 1 of the Story Mode, The Dark Awakens, and the first chapter of Arcade Quest, though some parts of the latter may differ from the game.

After completing Arcade Quest, you can partake in Super Ghost Battle, fighting against your AI ghost and potentially others. Playable characters include Jin, Kazuya, Paul and Nina, and there are three stages to battle in – Urban Square in the evening, Sanctum and Yakushima. “Partial” versions of Versus and Gallery will also be available, but unfortunately, there’s no online play. Save data also doesn’t carry over into the game.

Tekken 8 launches on January 26th, 2024, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Head here to check out the latest character trailer for Yoshimitsu or learn more about the changes made to My Replay and Tips.
