It is Windows, free, released October 25, 2023. Demo length, a demo-vs-EA feature list, and save carryover are not documented in the sources we reviewed.

| Platform | Windows | Windows only (no macOS/Linux on the store) |
| Scope | Not documented as a precise act count or hour target in sources reviewed | ~70% of main game; 2 of 3 Acts; ~4–6 hours; all weapons & modifications; most character level progression (Steam EA FAQ) |
| Language | Not documented separately for the demo app in sources reviewed | English only (interface, full audio, subtitles) |
| Controller support | Not documented separately; do not assume it differs from EA | No full controller support at EA launch; partial Accessibility Option with UI interactions not fully supported (developer reply) |
| Updates | Received Steam announcements through the demo era | Ongoing EA updates on AppID 2548880 |
| Last documented patch date | 2026-06-22 (“Last Patch Before EA” announcement); earlier 2023-11-07 Bridgeburner demo update | EA launch-day patch notes / build ID not found in Steam news API on 2026-10-28 |

Do demo saves carry over—and how long is the demo?
November 7, 2023 Bridgeburner demo patch notes warn that GZDoom-family saves can break when core game files change. Treat demo saves as fragile; do not assume they carry into Early Access—transfer is not documented in the sources we reviewed. Demo playtime is also not documented; only EA’s ~4–6 hour FAQ line covers the paid slice. The EA FAQ notes the demo was improved via community feedback before this first commercial release.
Should I play the demo before buying Early Access?
If the link is live, trying the demo first is reasonable—it is free and, like the main game, Windows-only (the Early Access listing is English-only; the demo’s own language support is not documented) (Linux players: system requirements and Proton). A hedged yes if you want to test performance on your PC before EA; community threads report stutter and GPU quirks, and there is no official statement that demo builds match EA performance—see performance and stutter fixes for player-reported mitigations only.
The demo is not a full preview of EA’s two-act, ~4–6 hour scope or ending; exact demo endpoints are not documented in official text beyond patch history (minor spoiler details exist in a single-source developer reply—we omit them here).
