After a game’s original release on the eShop, a demo has previously been revealed; for example, in 2021, Nintendo offered a free Metroid Dread demo for Halloween. This downloadable demo is now only accessible on the Nintendo eShop for the Switch, with no news on whether it will be released on other platforms such as the PlayStation or Xbox. According to reports, the Switch version of Sonic Frontiers sold the most compared to other platforms, particularly in Japan, which may explain its exclusivity. However, this is only conjecture at this point.
