Original story (Tue 12th Dec, 2023): Bandai Namco has announced a free Tekken 8 demo for current-gen consoles and PC arriving this month, although the majority of platforms will have to wait a little longer to play. Yep, this is another timed PS5 exclusive - Xbox and PC players are made to wait just a bit longer to jump in.
The demo arrives on December 14th for PS5, and then a week later on December 21st for Xbox Series X|S & PC. At least the final release is a simultaneous launch - the full version of Tekken 8 is coming to all platforms on January 26th.
As for what you can expect from next week's Xbox demo, this slice of Tekken 8 sounds pretty meaty - featuring chunks of the game's story, arcade quest, offline versus and gallery modes. It looks like you'll be able to get a good taste of the upcoming fighter ahead of its January launch!
