Kadokawa Games announced that they will release a public trial version of Relayer in Japan on February 25 at 18:00 JST. The demo will be available on both PlayStation 4 and 5. The demo will even support cross-platform save transfer, where save data from the PS4 trial can be brought directly to the PS5 full version.

This demo will have 9 story stages (up to the end of Chapter 2 in the main storyline) and 12 simulator stages. It will also have a hard level cap. Once a character has reached level 30, they will be no longer able to gain more experience or job points in the demo. They will have to wait until the full game, which has a maximum level cap of 300.

The full release of Relayer will be available worldwide for PlayStation 4 and 5 on March 24. The game will have Japanese and English dual audio and subtitle options. It will also have Korean and Traditional Chinese subtitles at launch, with French, Italian, German, and Spanish subtitles added with a later patch. However, Clouded Leopard Entertainment as the international publisher for Relayer has yet to confirm whether countries outside Japan will also get a pre-release demo or not.
