game demo
Playable promotional sample
A game demo is a free sample version of a video game, released to let players try before buying.
Demos typically offer a limited portion of the full experience—a single level, a time restriction, or capped features.
I played the demo and decided to preorder the full game.
The practice dates to the shareware era but remains common for major releases.
