Demos

Hi,

I'm thinking of getting the demo of LEGO: The Hobbit.

When do the demos expire? Do they tell you how many days you have?? Does it disappear after the limited days???

Thanks!

Demos

Spitfire, it's my understanding that we don't have as many demos on the Xbox One because MS has decided to allow developers to choose whether they want to offer demos of their games or not rather than making it mandatory that they do. Research has also shown
that demos are actually more likely to hurt game sales than help it, which is another reason why you don't see developers still releasing demos. If you want to do research on a particular game, and a demo isn't available, you can still check out the game's
official website, reviews, community forums, or even watch others play it using the Twitch app on your Xbox One/Xbox 360 or at Twitch.tv on the Internet.

 

Demos

All XBLA/indie games on the 360 had demos. I have no idea why next gen don't. Me personally.. if there isn't a demo, I won't even consider a game unless it looks extremely interesting. Then I'll research the crap out of it.

 

Hi TektiticCrowd

As a general rule, demos don't expire, however there are some which give you a set amount of gameplay time such as Destiny.

On occasion, demos are taken off the marketplace, but that isn't very common.

Hope that helps!
