Bandai Namco’s upcoming Scarlet Nexus demo, which is slated to land on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on May 21, will also be available for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on May 28.
The game’s Twitter account shared the news, stating the demo will hit Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S first. Bandai Namco confirmed with GameSpot that PS4 and PS5 players will also get their chance to play it just a week later. The studio didn’t specify if the Scarlet Nexus demo will hit PC. Further, progress doesn’t carry over to the full game. However, Bandai Namco said those who play the storylines for both protagonists in the demo will unlock some kind of reward for the full game.

Now Playing: 11 Minutes of Scarlet Nexus Preview Gameplay
Scarlet Nexus is a third-person action game similar to other Bandai Namco action-RPGs like Code Vein. In a preview after playing about three hours (through the Parsec streaming platform), GameSpot editor Michael Higham walked away impressed but looking for more before being convinced of the game’s potential.
“When reflecting on my short time with Scarlet Nexus, I see potential for a high-quality action game with slick anime-stylings, even if I feel like I’ve seen something like this before,” Higham said. “However, it’s the smaller gripes that accumulate and leave me reluctant to wholly embrace the game right now.”
Scarlet Nexus launches on June 25 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Check out our Scarlet Nexus preorder guide to learn about the available bonuses. Elsewhere, Funimation is developing a spin-off anime series that debuts on June 25 as well.
