Delverium Demo: Download & First Steps

Yes, there is a free Delverium demo — it is live on Steam right now. The demo launched on February 7, 2025 and has been updated several times since, most notably in February 2026 when Sagestone Games added 8-player online co-op and a world boss fight. It is the fastest way to decide whether the full game is for you before Early Access arrives on September 22, 2026.

How to download the Delverium demo

1. Open Steam and search for Delverium, or go straight to the demo page: Delverium Demo on Steam.
2. Click Download Demo — it is free, no purchase needed.
3. Launch it from your library. The demo runs on the same modest spec list as the full game (see system requirements).

What is inside the demo

Content	Included?
Starter biomes to explore	Yes
Farming and base building basics	Yes
One completable dungeon	Yes
Solo play	Yes
Online co-op	Yes — up to 8 players

The demo represents roughly 1–2 hours of solo content according to community estimates — treat that number as an estimate, not an official figure. Multiplayer groups usually burn through it faster.

The February 2026 multiplayer update

Originally the demo shipped with 4-player co-op. The February 2026 update expanded online co-op to 8 players and added a world boss, turning the demo into a proper launch card for the full game's multiplayer. Sagestone Games also confirmed that simultaneous split-screen + online play works — so two players on a couch can queue into an online lobby together.

Will your demo progress carry over?

Unconfirmed. "Will my demo progress carry over to Early Access?" is one of the most-asked community questions, and Sagestone Games has not published a definitive answer as of September 15, 2026. Our advice: enjoy the demo to learn the systems, but do not sink long-term effort into a demo world you may not keep. If an official answer lands, this page gets updated immediately.

Demo vs Early Access: should you wait?

The demo is a vertical slice; Early Access is the growing full game. Play the demo tonight to test the feel — controls, art style, co-op flow — then read our Early Access guide and release date breakdown to decide whether to buy at launch. There is no cost to trying the demo, and the minimum specs are identical to the full game.
