Two Big Free Demos Are Now Live On The Xbox Store

As we approach the fall season, lots of big releases are landing on Xbox in the coming months, and it can be hard to keep track of every game and decide which you might actually pick up and play. Well, today Bandai Namco and SEGA are hoping to convince you of their efforts with two new demos that are now available on the Microsoft Store.

First up, Bandai Namco has just released a demo for Little Nightmares 3, its upcoming horror sequel heading to Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S this October. SEGA's effort comes via a fresh demo for Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, which is now live ahead of the game's full launch later this month. We'll chuck links to both of these free demos below:

If you need a little catching up on both of these games, we're going to round them up down below - with trailers, descriptions and full launch dates for each title. This pair of 2025 titles aren't launching on Xbox Game Pass, so you'll have to pay up if you want to play either of them on release.
