Data carries over to full game
[Update:It turns out that playing this new demo won’t just allow you to get a head start on the main game.As announced by Nintendo, save data from the main game and this demo will unlock the “Tockle” spirit inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate. While that isn’t immediately available, at least know you’ll be getting a little more than previously thought if you try outDragon Quest XIearly.]
TheDragon Quest XI Sdemo revealed earlier this monthis now available for download on the eShop. Containing an early section of the game, anyone that plays the demo can carry their save file over to the full release when it launches next month. The demo clocks in at around 4.7 GB and is currently available in North America, Europe, and Japan.
If you’re looking to grab the game digitally, it is now available for pre-loading. This will download all the files on your console so the game is ready to play when it releases on June 26, 2025. I’m not sure if the demo contains the 16-bit graphical filter, but I’m very interested to see howDragon Quest XIruns on the Switch.
