Resident Evil Village’s 60-minute playable demo is now available on consoles and PC.

The demo, which allows players to explore the Village and Castle areas for a total of 30 minutes each, can be downloaded on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam and Stadia.

Capcom originally intended to limit access to the demo to just 24 hours. However, it extended this to a week following complaints from fans.

As reported by Eurogamer, PC users have already discovered a workaround for the Resident Evil Village demo’s 60-minute cap.

Steam user Leaves detailed the process, which allows players to reset the demo timer by performing the following instructions:

  1. Disable Steam Cloud for RE8 Demo
  2. Download Steam SAM (Steam Achievement Manager)
  3. Delete Local Savefiles

  6. Remove Achievements and Stats, confirm.

Resident Evil Village is the 10th main game in the Resident Evil series and the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. It will be released on May 7 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC and Stadia.

Capcom released a PS5 exclusive Resident Evil Village demo in January, which saw players take on the role of a character called the Maiden as she attempts to escape Dimitrescu Castle.
