The announcement covered the launch times for each version. First, here’s when the PC Digimon Story: Time Stranger demo debuts in different regions:

  • North America: 3pm PT/6pm ET on September 10, 2025.
  • Europe: 12am CET on September 11, 2025.
  • Japan: 7am JST on September 11, 2025. 
  • Australia: 8am ET on September 11, 2025.

As for the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the new Digimon Story JRPG, that trial debuts at 12am in every region on September 11, 2025. This means someone in Japan would get to play it earlier than someone in North America. 

We’ve seen a lot of footage from the game ahead of this latest reveal. There was a new story trailer online at the end of August 2025. Videos highlighting the new Digimon Story JRPG characters also appear on social media regularly, with one of the most recent ones showing off Aegiochusmon and his Bolt Break Knockdown attack.

Digimon Story: Time Strangers will release on October 3, 2025 for the PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, the demo will be everywhere by September 11, 2025, and it will be at TGS 2025.
