Bandai Namco shared a new Digimon Story Time Stranger demo that allows both Switch and Switch 2 owners to see how the JRPG runs on each console. This experience will offer a slice from the beginning of the game. As such, save files can be transferred over to a full copy. The links are live on both the Switch and Switch 2 listings for the game now.
As a reminder, Digimon Story Time Stranger is a more traditional type of JRPG experience that involves our avatar heading into the past to prevent an apocalypse in the future. The primary part of the demo allows us to see how the story gets started. That’s the part where we can create a save file and use to continue our progress. However, if we finish the story segment here, we can also test out Central Town – Adventure Trial to see more of Iliad and the Digimon who live there. That part can’t be carried over.
Here’s the trailer showing off the new demo we can test for both the Switch and Switch 2 versions of Digimon Story Time Stranger.
As a reminder, the difference between the two is that the Switch 2 version of this Digimon JRPG features a Performance mode that has full HD resolution and 60 fps and a Quality option that drops the framerate to 30 in exchange for 4K visuals.
Digimon Story Time Stranger will come to the Switch and Switch 2 on July 10, 2026, and the demo is available now for both systems. The game is already on the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC.
