Who doesn’t love a demo? After all, they’re a fantastic way to get a free taste of a game and see if it’s for you. That said, they do typically come with one minor downside: you have to download them.

That can be mildly frustrating right? You sit there, twiddling your thumbs(ticks), waiting as the progress bar slowly inches towards completion. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just immediately jump in and start playing?

Well, if you’re on PC, that’s exactly what you can do with Life is Strange 2. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Polystream to create a free streaming demo of the critically-acclaimed adventure game.

It’s available now across North America and Europe - simply visit the Life is Strange website and, if your PC and broadband connection meet the minimum specs, you can start playing a sample of the game in seconds. Here’s how you do it:

Step 1: Head over to https://lifeisstrange.com

Step 2: If your PC and broadband connection meet the specs, you’ll see the ‘STREAM DEMO’ button. Click it to download and open the bitesize Polystream launcher – and start playing!

It’s a great way to experience Life is Strange 2 - and if you haven’t already, you really should, because it’s a truly unforgettable game.

Developed by DONTNOD, it follows two brothers: 16-year old Sean and 9-year old Daniel Diaz. A traumatic incident tears them from their home in suburban Seattle, forcing them into a dangerous life on the road. Adding to the chaos, Daniel is developing a new telekinetic power. The bond between the brothers will be tested to the limit, but as for what happens… that depends on you.

Life is Strange 2 features a very complex choice system, in which your actions and reactions determine not only how scenes play out, but also how characters interact.

There’s another good reason to play the demo too - the technology is really cool! The streaming demo uses the Polystream platform, which delivers real-time 3D experiences on demand from the cloud. Because there are no downloads, you can jump straight into the meat of the game with no hassle, faff or waiting.

If you like what you play, all 5 episodes of Life is Strange 2 are available now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
