With Tekken 8 releasing next month, why not enjoy the demo first?
We’re just over a month away until the upcoming Tekken 8 comes through, and it’s clear that we cannot wait any longer to play the game. At this point, anything is acceptable, just as long as we get to enjoy some Tekken 8 action. And you know what, why can’t we? Why can’t we enjoy some Tekken 8 right now? So, it looks like our wish has been granted, because we can now get a little taste of what’s to come next month with a demo that has not become available.
If you remember, not so long ago, we had a second closed beta for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and PC users. Unfortunately, not all players were involved, even if they did apply for a code, therefore leaving many disappointed.
For those that did play, you’d acknowledge how fun and exciting the beta was. You’ve got to enjoy Tekken 8’s compelling number of available characters to experiment with, including a few of the new ones. Plus, you had to enjoy the new Heat gauge mechanic that takes your Tekken 8 fights to the next level.
But now, everyone can play. Well, up until December 21, 2023, that is, because the demo is currently available to all PlayStation 5 users. Xbox Series X and PC players will have to wait a week to be able to enjoy. But it’s only a week, so it’s no biggie.
There are a few things you should know about the demo. The demo is strictly offline, and it doesn’t have online features. Therefore, you won’t be able to play the likes of ranked matches. You need to have at least 28GB of free space on all platforms.

As for you, Xbox Series X and PC players, you’ll just have to wait a little longer.
