Styx Blades of Greed Demo Is Out Now on PC With Save Carry Over, Pre Orders Go Live Across All Platforms
Publisher Nacon and developer Cyanide Studio have released a limited time free demo for Styx Blades of Greed on PC through Steam, giving stealth fans a meaningful hands on slice of the next Styx adventure before launch. The demo weighs in at roughly 17GB and includes the full first hour of the game starting from the opening moments, with an important quality of life win for players who commit early: save data from the demo will carry over to the full game, so you can continue your run without replaying the opening section.
The demo content is structured to showcase both spectacle and sandbox stealth. Players will infiltrate a massive golem that is attacking Styx, with the objective of destroying it from the inside, and the demo also includes Styx’s first major mission, described as a high risk zeppelin theft under the constant watch of the Inquisition. This takes place in the first open environment of the game, The Wall, and the developers describe the demo as a focused taste of the tone, systems, and freedom players can expect in the full release.
Alongside the demo, Nacon has officially opened pre orders on all platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X, with multiple editions and a franchise bundle option for players who want the full series in one purchase.
The Standard Edition with Pre order Bonus includes the base game plus the Master of Shadows Skin from the first installment. Pricing is set at €49.99, 49.99 dollars, and £44.99 on consoles, while PC pricing comes in lower at €39.99, 39.99 dollars, and £34.99 through Steam or the Epic Games Store.
For players who want more content and earlier access, the Quartz Edition includes the base game, 2 days of early access, the Greedy and Legacy skin packs for Styx and his weapons, a Starter Pack with 2 talent points plus crafting resources, and 5 additional taunts designed to lure enemies. The Master of Shadows Skin pre order bonus is also included. Pricing for the Quartz Edition is €59.99, 59.99 dollars, and £54.99 on consoles, while PC pricing is €49.99, 49.99 dollars, and £44.99 through Steam or the Epic Games Store.
Nacon is also offering a Styx Master of Stealth Collection bundle that packages the full stealth series together: Styx Master of Shadows from 2014, Styx Shards of Darkness from 2017, and Styx Blades of Greed in its Quartz Edition. This collection is priced at €69.99, 69.99 dollars, and £64.99 on consoles. On PC, the bundle is available through Steam at a higher price point of €85.50.
From a player value angle, this is a strong early access style move without the usual early access label. A limited time demo that is substantial, paired with save carry over, reduces friction for stealth fans who want to validate performance, controls, and mission design before pre ordering. It is also a smart engagement lever, because it transforms the demo from a throwaway trial into genuine progress, which is exactly the kind of incentive that can convert cautious players into day one buyers.
Are you planning to try the demo for the first hour and carry your save into the full game, or are you waiting to see more of the open environment and mission variety before committing?
