Demo Save Transfer Guide
This page answers one of the most common demo questions: whether your demo progress carries over to the full game. The official Bandai Namco save-data transfer guide provides a clear answer. This page summarises it directly.
Direct Answer
Demo save data transfers to the full game, but only on the same platform. A Steam demo save cannot continue on PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S, and vice versa. There is no cross-platform save transfer.
Same-Platform Transfer Checklist
Before starting your transfer, confirm each item:
Supported Platform Transfer Table
| Demo Platform | Full Game Platform | Transfer Supported |
|---|---|---|
| PlayStation 5 | PlayStation 5 | Yes |
| PlayStation 5 | Xbox Series X|S | No |
| PlayStation 5 | Steam | No |
| Xbox Series X|S | Xbox Series X|S | Yes |
| Xbox Series X|S | PlayStation 5 | No |
| Xbox Series X|S | Steam | No |
| Steam | Steam | Yes |
| Steam | PlayStation 5 | No |
| Steam | Xbox Series X|S | No |
Death Game Mode Save Restriction
Important: Demo save data that has been transferred to the full game cannot later be switched to Death Game Mode. This is an official limitation documented in the Bandai Namco save transfer guide.
If you want to play Death Game Mode with a fresh save, start the full game without transferring your demo save, or transfer your demo save to a separate save slot and start Death Game Mode from a new slot.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I transfer my Steam demo save to the PlayStation 5 version?
No. Cross-platform save transfer is not supported. A Steam demo save can only transfer to the Steam full game. See the platform transfer table above for all combinations.
Can I start Death Game Mode with my transferred demo save?
No. The official save transfer guide states that demo save data transferred to the full game cannot later be switched to Death Game Mode. Start a new save slot for Death Game Mode.
Does the demo level cap (15) or Weapon Proficiency cap (3) transfer?
Your progress within the demo's official limits transfers as-is. The full game does not impose the same level and proficiency caps, so your character will continue advancing beyond those demo limits once in the full game.
Where can I find the official save transfer instructions?
