3 Must-Try Free Xbox Demos You Can Play Right Now
Xbox just added three standout free demos: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves, and Elta: Defy All Gods. Here's why they're worth your time.
Ever find yourself scrolling through the Xbox Store, looking for something new to play without spending a dime? You're in luck. Three particularly notable free demos have just landed on the Xbox Store over the past couple of days, and all of them are well worth a play.
First up is Castlevania: Belmont's Curse. This demo lets you start the game and carry over your progress to the full release later in October. That's a big deal if you're a fan of the series—you can get a head start and not worry about losing your save. October might feel like a while away, but at least you'll be ready.
Next, there's a demo for FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves. This one follows the well-received launch of the full game earlier this year. If you've been curious about the latest entry in the fighting franchise, now's your chance to try it out for free. The full game already made waves, so the demo is a perfect way to see what all the fuss is about.
Finally, we have Elta: Defy All Gods. This demo features 60 minutes of gameplay from the upcoming action-platformer. That's a solid chunk of time to get a feel for the game. And it's not just us—the demo already boasts a highly "Positive" reception on Steam. So if you're into action-platformers, this one should definitely be on your radar.
Xbox is adding free demos all the time, but these three stand out as particularly big examples. Whether you're into gothic action, fighting games, or platformers, there's something here for you. And hey, free is free—what have you got to lose?
So, will you be picking up any of these demos? Let us know in the comments!
