Any bugs and problems will be connected to the full version leaving a negative impression that would not have existed if the bugs and problems were viewed from the perspective of a ‘beta tester’ instead of a ‘demo player.’ Traditional demos, on the other hand, don’t have this leeway. This allows game developers to start building up interest for their game in the middle of the development process. Unlike traditional demos though, beta tests can be offered even when your game is far from complete. This, coupled with a high-profile marketing campaign, allowed players to get a taste of the full game and make them eager for the game’s full release. Ubisoft basically released a demo version of the game, where they cut out a large chunk of the content and let players explore a fraction of the locations and features available in the full version. This is how Tom Clancy’s The Division is currently operating. Open and closed betas are, in effect, game demos that let game makers gauge player reaction to their games while simultaneously writing off bugs and glitches as ‘part of the testing phase.’

Demos Have Evolved Into Beta Tests and Early Access Games Is it still worth the effort and the money to entice players into grabbing a demo with the hope that they come back later for a full purchase? Yes, and no. However, the advent of streaming video has whittled away at the appeal of traditional demos, from lets-play videos that show people how the game actually plays to beta testing phases that let players experience the game even before it sees a full release. The PS5 launches on November 12 in the US, Japan, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea, and November 19 for the rest of the world including the UK.Video game demos used to be a powerful tool for enticing curious players into committing cash for the full version.

It also isn’t clear exactly how PS5's extra power will benefit PS4 games. We know that PS4 games will be playable using the DualShock 4 controller on PS5, and that 99% of games will work, but we’ve already seen issues pop regarding save files transferring to PS4 in games like Yakuza: Like A Dragon and Dirt 5. While Xbox Series X backwards compatibility impressions are already in, and sound extremely promising, Sony has continued to keep its cards close to its chest with more generalized statements of how the PS5 will handle PS4 games. “.we’re excited about supporting our PlayStation community as they transition from PS4 to PS5 when they’re ready.' 'When you sign in to PS5 with your account, you will automatically see your library of played PS4 content through the menu,” said Nishino.

While Nishino continued to repeat Sony’s mantra of pushing the importance of PS5 first and foremost, he also revealed some new information about backwards compatibility that we didn’t know.

Sony's senior vice president of platform planning and management Hideaki Nishino stressed the importance of backwards compatibility, and reiterated Sony’s promise that “approximately 99 percent of the thousands of PS4 titles, both catalog and newly published, will be playable on PS5”. Sony also revealed a snippet of new information on what players can expect in an interview with Game Informer (opens in new tab).
