Now that reviews are out for Returnal and it's receiving great praise, more people than ever are itching to get their hands on it. However, with a $70 price tag, plenty of PS5 owners are potentially skeptical despite the glowing reviews.

It's only natural that someone might want to try a game out first before preordering or buying it full price. Taking a look at fiascos like the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 might help explain why people might be skeptical of games right at launch.

With the growing price tags of AAA games, purchasing something new has become that much more of a risk. Now that Returnal is coming out tomorrow, people are wanting to see if that risk is worth it.

Is there a Returnal demo for people to try before taking the $70 plunge?

Is There a Returnal Demo?

Currently, there is no Returnal demo to speak of. It seems like if you're wanting to play the game, you're going to need to buy it outright. It's not entirely out of the question that developer Housemarque would put up some sort of playable teaser for the game, but that seems incredibly unlikely.

Last month, GamesRadar posted a video to their YouTube channel narrated by Housemarque Marketing Director Mikael Haveri that does a deeper dive into what to expect from Returnal than some of the other marketing. If you're still on the fence about buying the game, you can check out the video below.

Returnal Review

If you're looking for more evidence to help inform a purchase of the game, you can find our full review of Returnal right here. The 9 out of 10 review says, "up to this point, there certainly have been games that act as selling points for the PlayStation 5, however, Returnal isn’t just a tech demo or optimized version of a PS4 game: it’s a must-play for anyone with a PS5 who isn’t afraid to work through the frustrations of dying over and over again."
