Two Huge FREE Demos Are Now On The Xbox Store!

Horror & Racing Fans Rejoice!

The fall release season is heating up, and with so many games on the horizon, it can be tough to decide what’s worth your time. Luckily, Bandai Namco and SEGA are giving Xbox players a chance to try before they buy, with two brand-new free demos now available on the Microsoft Store.

• Little Nightmares Demo (Xbox Store)

• Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds (Xbox Store)

Little Nightmares 3 Demo on Xbox - Available Now!

The next entry in the chilling horror series arrives this October, but you don’t have to wait until then to get a taste of the terror. Bandai Namco has dropped a demo for Little Nightmares 3, letting players sample its creepy puzzles and unsettling atmosphere ahead of launch.

Release Date: October 2025

Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S

Publisher: Bandai Namco

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds Demo on Xbox - Available Now!

Meanwhile, SEGA is gearing up to launch its new racing spin on the Sonic franchise later this month. The Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds demo is now live, giving players a chance to hit the tracks, test out new mechanics, and see how it stacks up against other arcade racers.

Release Date: September 2025

Platforms: Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S

It’s worth noting that neither of these games will be launching on Xbox Game Pass, so if you want the full experience after sampling the demos, you’ll need to grab them at retail. Still, both trials give Xbox players a solid preview of what’s shaping up to be a busy fall line-up.
