Not long after publishing the original article, a third demo popped up on our radar and it's definitely worth a look. Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault is set to join September's Xbox Game Pass lineup, and has just dropped a brand new demo on the Xbox Store. Much like the other two demos we've featured, you can find the demo here and take a look a look at the game's description and trailer.
Moonlighter 2: The Endless Vault (1.0 Release - September 2, 2026)
Live the double life of a fearless adventurer and a crafty merchant! Dive into vibrant dimensions brimming with shiny loot and pesky enemies. Grow your shop, tinker with weapons and gadgets, as well as make your mark among a ragtag community of castaways.

First on the docket, Capcom has just released a prologue demo for Monster Hunter Wilds, its latest beastie-slaying adventure likely to swing the net out ahead of its upcoming major Ascendance expansion.
Players will be able to have a crack at the early game until they complete the 'To the Forest' main mission, which should roughly take 1-3 hours depending on your playstyle. Pretty sizable for a demo, right?
AMPLITUDE Studios' swanky new demo for ENDLESS Legend II is also live now ahead of September's version 1.0 release, which was announced yesterday. We'll pop links to both of these demos below:
