How To Play A Free Demo Of Metroid Prime 4 On Switch 2

Metroid Prime 4 launched recently for both the Nintendo Switch and the newer Switch 2, marking a notable event for the franchise after its long break since Metroid Prime 3’s 2007 release on the Wii. The newest entry continues the series’ legacy with updated visuals and features designed to showcase the capabilities of Nintendo’s latest hardware.

Players curious about the gameplay but not ready to purchase have a chance to try a free demo. Nintendo has set up in-store kiosks where visitors can test the game, offering a hands-on preview similar to the demo opportunities once seen during the Nintendo DS era.

Nintendo now offers players a way to experience Metroid Prime 4: Beyond firsthand before buying. The demo can be played at dedicated kiosks located in major retailers, including Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop.

Unlike older handheld setups that required bringing a personal system, each store location provides a pre-installed Switch 2 unit for visitors to use. Players only need to wait their turn to try a segment of the game.
