Highly Anticipated 2024 JRPG Offers Free Demo on PS5 & PS4 via PS Store

The PlayStation Store is packed with demos for both PS4 and PS5, yet few receive significant acclaim. However, there’s exciting news from the renowned developer and publisher Atlus—they’ve dropped a demo for one of their celebrated JRPGs that hit the market last year.

## Persona 3 Reload PS5, PS4 Demo Lands on PS Store

Atlus has just made waves by announcing the release of a demo for Persona 3 Reload, available a year after its official release in 2024. Gamers can now explore this demo on the PS Store for both PS4 and PS5, offering a golden opportunity to dive into the game without the pressure of committing to a purchase. The cherry on top? For those who decide to purchase the full game, all progress made in the demo smoothly transitions over.

“Take on the role of a new transfer student embarking on an unexpected journey,” the demo’s description teases. “Unleash a phenomenal power as you unravel the enigma of the Dark Hour, stand by your friends, and leave an unforgettable imprint on their lives. This sneak peek lets you experience the story’s initial segments, culminating in a showdown with a formidable, towering Shadow in the first major boss fight.”

Upon its release, Persona 3 Reload garnered glowing feedback. Sites like Metacritic reflected this with an impressive average score of 87 from 68 critic reviews. Even if JRPGs aren’t typically your thing, this demo is definitely worth a shot.

Currently, Persona 3 Reload is priced at $69.99 on the PS Store for both the PS5 and PS4. Nevertheless, prospective buyers should keep an eye out, as discounts frequently occur. Just last February, the price dropped to $34.99, offering fantastic value for such a highly praised title.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there—Persona 3 Reload isn’t the only demo available on the PS Store. Fans of sci-fi shooters can now enjoy a free demo of Metal Edan. Developed by Reikon Games and published by Deep Silver, this game was one of many highlights from the PlayStation State of Play event in February 2025.
