Saber Interactive’s Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival has received a free PlayStation 5 demo, allowing players to experience the opening sections of the survival horror game without purchasing the full release. The demo became available through the PlayStation Store on November 11, 2026, following the game’s October 8 launch.
The download is available independently of PlayStation Plus Premium, meaning players do not need a subscription to access it. The demo includes the complete prologue and a portion of the first chapter, introducing the game’s disturbing setting, characters and core gameplay mechanics.
The prologue follows protagonist Aidan as he enters the Labyrinth, an otherworldly realm connected to the Hellraiser universe, while searching for his girlfriend, Sunny. The opening sequence introduces the game’s supernatural horror elements and establishes the central conflict involving the mysterious Genesis Configuration puzzle box.
The playable section then continues into part of the first chapter, where Aidan must escape the Scarlet Church, a dangerous cult that has taken possession of the puzzle box. This portion shifts toward stealth and escape sequences while introducing basic puzzle-solving, crafting and combat mechanics.
The full game expands on these systems with additional weapons, upgrades, more complex puzzles and supernatural abilities associated with the Genesis Configuration. Players encounter enemies inspired by Clive Barker’s horror franchise, including cultists and the Cenobites, with Pinhead playing a central role in the story.
Hellraiser: Revival originally launched on October 8, 2026, for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. A downloadable PC demo was already available before the console release, making the new PlayStation version an additional opportunity for players to sample the game.
The PS5 demo is separate from Sony’s subscription-based game trials, which are generally offered through PlayStation Plus Premium. Players looking for other downloadable experiences can also explore the Kyoto Xanadu free demo, which provides several hours of gameplay across supported platforms in Japan and Asia.
The full version of Hellraiser: Revival remains a paid purchase on the PlayStation Store, with a listed US price of $39.99. Saber Interactive has not confirmed whether progress made in the PS5 demo can be transferred to the complete game, so players should not assume their save data will carry over.
