The demo will be available until April 10 2020, when the game officially launches. The demo clocks in at 7.33GB, and focuses on the iconic Mako Reactor 1 Bombing Mission. Square Enix also notes on the PlayStation Store that what players experience in the demo may differ from what will be available in the retail version, and that progress cannot be carried over to the final game.
