Sonic Superstars May Get A Public Demo In The Future

A lot of people got to play Sonic Superstars at Summer Game Fest Play Days. Unfortunately, if you weren't able to go, obviously you weren't able to do that. However, if you're not able to attend any gaming events in the future, there may be some hope. Some hands-on impressions from Portuguese site Game Blast are suggesting that a public demo of the game may be coming in the future.

It's not something that SEGA directly told Game Blast, but they reached this conclusion based on something they saw in the Summer Game Fest Play Days demo that was available. According to Game Blast, "the words 'trial version' were discreetly hidden in the bottom right corner of the game's opening screen during my playthrough". They feel that this suggest that "the developers may be planning to release a public demo for the game".

In case you're feeling like that's not enough info to verify this as true, someone else that was at Summer Game Fest and had an appointment next to the game's booth confirmed that there was, indeed, a "Demo Version" text on the game's title screen. So, that is now 2 people that have confirmed that this was on the Summer Game Fest Play Days demo.

Now, it is worth noting that it is absolutely up in the air when a public demo, if it does happen, would be released. A similar thing happened with the demo for Sonic Frontiers last year, and a public demo for it wasn't released until after the game had come out in November of 2022. So, it's possible that a public demo may not even release before the actual game launches. Nevertheless, it's another aspect to this game's pre-launch period that is going to make a lot of fans curious.
