Monster Hunter Stories 3 Demo Now Live with Save Data Carryover!

Monster Hunter Stories 3 Demo Live — Save Data Carries Over

Demo’s Out Now — Dive In

Capcom popped up during the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and gave Monster Hunter fans a nice little treat: a playable slice of Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections for the Switch 2. The demo is already on the eShop, so you can start your monster buddy chronicle without waiting for March.

Your Progress Won’t Vanish

The best part? Progress from the demo transfers to the full game when it launches, so any loot, bonded monsters, or questionable fashion choices you unlock now won’t disappear once you upgrade to the full release.

Pre-order Deets (For the Decisive)

If you’re ready to commit, the full game can be pre-ordered on the eShop for $69.99 / £54.99. Pre-orders come with a bonus DLC set — Layer Armor for Eleanor (Skyscale Queen) — basically a fancy outfit for your party’s drama queen.

Also on Deck: Pragmata Demo

Capcom didn’t stop there — they also put out a Pragmata demo for the Switch 2. Two demos, double the excuses to procrastinate real responsibilities.

Quick Verdict

Short version: try the demo, keep your saves, and pre-order if the vibes are right. Now go cuddle a Rathalos or whatever the heck the adorable-but-deadly creature is in this one — I won’t tell your boss.
