Resident Evil Village Demo: All Times You Can Play Guide 1

When can you play the Resident Evil Village demo on PS5 and PS4? When will the Resident Evil Village demo be live to play? Capcom has confirmed it will be dropping a playable teaser for the upcoming ninth mainline instalment in its survival horror franchise, so it's understandable that you'd want to know when you can play it. However, the process is anything but simple. In this Resident Evil Village guide, we're going to reveal exactly when you can play the upcoming demo, depending on where you live in the world.

Resident Evil Village Demo: All Times You Can Play

Capcom is giving PS5 and PS4 players early access to the Resident Evil Village demo, but these windows of opportunity are very brief. Before the full demo drops just prior to the full game's launch, you will have 30 minutes to play one chunk of the demo. Then, one week later, the other piece of the demo unlocks and you will once again have 30 minutes to play. The village area is up first, and then it's the turn of the castle. These two areas will culminate in a final 60-minute demo at the very beginning of May, but they'll feature the same content as the two offerings that are half the length.
