It’s been five years since the Final Fantasy 7 Remake was announced at E3, so it’s incredible that the public at large can finally get their hands on at least a snippet of the game.

This isn’t actually the first news of a demo for Final Fantasy 7. Back in January, it was discovered that some players had managed to get their hands on a demo of the game. While it is just a rumor, those that got their hands on the purported game demo suggested that there may be code indicating a PC port.

Players can now begin downloading the Final Fantasy 7 Remake demo from the PlayStation Store. This should give players a delicious taste of what awaits next month. For those that are eagerly anticipating the release of a 20-something year old classic, ensuring you have enough hard drive space is going to be important given the leaked install size.

Install size and leaked demos aside, what we do know is that there is finally a demo of Final Fantasy 7 Remake waiting for you on the PlayStation Store. Get it downloaded and then peruse the Shacknews Final Fantasy 7 Remake page for more coverage!
