October Demo dates and current access
Official source
The free event ran October 19–26, 2026. On November 9, the former Demo page redirected to the official Early Access overview, and the developer site displayed Out now with a November 3 launch date. The separate Demo listing is retained below as a historical reference, not a promise of a current free download.
- 1Open the official Early Access overview and follow its store link for current access.
- 2Use your current in-game quest journal for instructions in the installed version.
- 3Read the dated carryover rules below if you played the October Demo; confirm current account questions with official support.
What can you do in the Demo?
Official source
The Demo takes you through the opening Loftia City story: meet NPCs, salvage materials, grow crops and decorate a home in a shared neighborhood. You can also team up for Adventures, play social minigames and contribute to the Pebble birthday World Project.
- Farming: learn the opening crop tasks and manage your watering can.
- Home: arrange furniture and get to know the shared neighborhood.
- Exploration: meet the city’s residents and collect resources.
- Community: try group challenges and contribute to a shared project.
Does Demo progress carry over?
Official source
Yes. Qloud Games says completed quests, collected items and character progression will transfer into Early Access. The studio warns that an unlinked account prevents recovery of Demo rewards or progress: link your Loftia website account in-game using your email address, then confirm the linked status.
- The Demo allows one character per account; the developer plans multiple characters after Early Access begins.
- Your character name carries over. To retain its reservation, log into Early Access during November 3, 2026–February 3, 2027; unused names can be released after that window.

Demo limits and what is planned for Early Access

The Demo story ends before Hanging Gardens, and proficiencies have a Level 5 cap. A locked district or capped proficiency can be the end of the available Demo content. Early Access is planned to add more of the world and deeper progression.

| System | October Demo | Planned Early Access |
|---|---|---|
| World | Opening Loftia City questline | Hanging Gardens and Gridfall |
| Proficiencies | Level 5 cap | Further levels and Perk choices |
| Farming | Introductory crop-growing | Hydroponics and nutrient-fed Super Crops |
| Community and exploration | Initial Adventures and Pebble’s World Project | More adventure gauntlets, World Projects and Urbex |
| Companions | Check the current Demo’s available activities | Pet adoption, care and customization |
PC, Mac, solo play and the planned price
Official source
Loftia is planned for PC and Mac through Steam and the Epic Games Store. The developer supports solo progression, but an internet connection is required because Loftia is an online MMO. The FAQ also lists keyboard/mouse, controller and Steam Deck support.
- Early Access base price: US$29.99; the announced 17% launch discount is US$24.89, with regional pricing. Check the store at purchase time.
- There is no game subscription to play; optional cosmetics and the Community Pass are separate from the game purchase.
- Nintendo Switch is planned for 2027. Crossplay is still a goal rather than a confirmed promise; check official updates before purchasing for play across platforms.
More Demo questions
Scroll across to compare all columns.
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Can I play alone without falling behind? | Qloud Games says solo play does not block progression and allows almost all content. Stay online; group Adventures are another way to play when you want company. |
| Should I follow a Beta quest walkthrough? | Use your current Demo quest journal first. Earlier Beta references can include steps and regions outside this Demo; compare the objective before spending materials. |
| Does a website preregistration replace linking in-game? | Create or sign into your website account, then link it from the game. The developer explicitly requires that connection for reward redemption and Demo recovery. |
| Should I wait for Early Access to report a Demo issue? | Report a reproducible current issue through the developer’s Demo bug-report links. Include build/date, platform and the exact failing action so it can be distinguished from a Demo content limit. |
