The short answer

The expanded demo is on all five official storefronts. Progress does not carry into the full game, but keeping your demo save lets you claim the Kubi Akari talisman.

Where to download it

CAPCOM’s demo page points to five places: PlayStation Store, Microsoft Store, Steam, Epic Games Store and Nintendo eShop.

Search the full title in your regional store and check that the listing is the demo, not the full game or an add-on.

What is inside

The expanded version adds new locations, fights after Sasaki Ganryu and a closing boss.

You get to try Issen, Genma combat and a big finish.

Demo content differs from the full game, and PC demo performance does not predict the retail build.

Claiming Kubi Akari

  1. Do not delete your demo save.
  2. In the full game, open Settings > Privacy > Demo Bonus and choose Collect Reward.
  3. At a Spirit Mirror, open Additional Content or Downloadable Content.
  4. Select Demo Bonus to claim Kubi Akari, then equip it as a talisman.

The reward and progress transfer are separate things. You can claim the reward; the official policy rules out carrying progress over.

Before you install

Switch 2, consoles and PC can have different listings, performance options and update times, so check again before installing.

This wiki does not host the game, the demo or save files. If a page offers a “full game download” or a “perfect save”, be careful - that is not an official channel.

Sources and limits

CAPCOM’s official demo page and demo web manual. The video illustrates gameplay and is not evidence for save policy. This page does not replace the full combat guide or a platform buying comparison.
