Dec 12, 2023 3:00 PM

Fighting game enthusiasts have something to get excited about, as Bandai Namco announces a substantial offline demo for the highly anticipated Tekken 8, initially exclusive to the PS5 starting December 14th. The demonstration showcases a considerable portion of the game, including the Story Mode, Arcade Quest, an offline VS mode, and the Gallery. This demo serves as a prelude to the full release set for January 26, 2024, across PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.

The Tekken 8 offline demo will not provide the full game experience but offers a generous preview, delivering various aspects of the single-player content. This includes a segment of the Story mode, a taste of the Arcade Quest, offline versus action, and elements of the Gallery, ensuring fans a sufficient glimpse into what the complete game will entail.

Meanwhile, Xbox Series X/S and PC gamers will need to wait an additional week, with the same demo becoming available for these platforms on December 21, 2023. The staggered release schedule provides PlayStation users with early access, maintaining a trend seen in previous Tekken 8 testing phases.

What time will the Tekken 8 demo be available for download on PS5?

The Tekken 8 demo for PS5 will become available at 00:00 PST, 03:00 EDT, 08:00 GMT, 09:00 CET, and 17:00 JST on December 14, 2023.
