What this week's free demos actually ask of your PC

Store pages bury the two things that decide whether a demo is worth starting tonight: how big the download is and whether it will run at all. Here are all 14 of our picks for July 26, 2026 in one table, taken straight from each game's own store page.

The spread is wider than you would expect from a single week. The smallest download is a rounding error and the largest is a hundred times bigger. Some of these run on integrated graphics from a decade ago; one wants a card you had to buy on purpose.

Minimum specification as published by the developer. 5 of these 14 store pages publish no hardware figures at all, which is itself worth knowing before you start a download. Rows marked analysis have a full write-up on this site.
