Video game developers have been releasing playable demonstrations for upcoming titles.

In September, Luna Games LTD and Ultimate Games S.A. launched a public demo for the economic simulation game Camp Manager Simulator on PC. Concurrently, tinyBuild and Lazy Bear Games released a limited-time demo for Graveyard Keeper 2 on Steam, which features a transition to 3D graphics.

By October, indie studios continued this trend with new playable content. Milktooth released a free demo for the narrative adventure Bad Magpie on Steam and Xbox for PC, with a full release planned for 2027. Additionally, Windup Games launched a free PC demo for Hela: of Mice & Magic, focusing on movement and puzzle mechanics ahead of its scheduled December 2026 launch.
