South Park: The Fractured But Whole Now Has an Hour-Long Demo

Game demos are a dying breed. They used to be freely available for players to try games before they bought them; they let people know if the game they were interested in would hold their interest. While it’s rare for game publishers to give gamers demos these days, sometimes a studio will surprise us and give players an almost unrestricted look at a game. Today, that studio was Ubisoft, and that game was South Park: The Fractured But Whole.

Yes, you heard me correctly: gamers can play a demo of South Park: The Fractured But Whole. Well, console gamers can, at least; the demo is only available on the Xbox One and PlayStation 4. The announcement page provides the following statement:

“Play South Park: The Fractured But Whole for FREE! Create your unique New Kid and start exploring the town of South Park and in this hilarious and outrageous superhero adventure. All progress will be saved and carried over should you purchase the full game.”

You might wonder what, if any, limitations the demo has. Well, aside from the obvious lack of a PC version, according to VG247, it is limited to one hour. That’s it. Aside from an admittedly short playtime restriction, gamers can do what they want, where they want, when they want, and most importantly, fart on whatever they want (except for someone’s balls; never, ever, fart on someone’s balls). The demo doesn’t “feature alterations to gameplay,” so gamers who play the demo will get the full South Park: The Fractured But Whole experience, minus the DLC, of course.

Gamers who enjoy the demo can pick up the game for $59.99 and the season pass, which contains the costume and perk pack The Relics of Zaron (sold separately for $4.99) and three upcoming story and mission packs, for $29.99. Alternatively, gamers can buy the gold version South Park: The Fractured But Whole for $89.99, which comes with the season pass and a free copy of South Park: The Stick of Truth (I highly recommend this game). With luck, Ubisoft will soon release a demo for the PC version.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

The latest trailer for Sony Pictures Entertainment’s CGI film Resident Evil: Death Island, released July 25, features the outlandish action and melodrama that made the franchise a cult sensation.

This Resident Evil Avengers-esque team-up features Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.

The T-Virus and killer whales take the gang to Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, where a new nightmare awaits. In magnificent slow motion and with progressively heavier ordinance, the Dream Team will supposedly destroy zombies, Lickers, mutant orcas, and anything else foolish or nasty enough to stand in their path.

Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.

“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.

With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.
