Nintendo is currently showcasing its next-generation console, the Switch 2, through in-store kiosks across the United States, offering players a firsthand look at highly anticipated games. These interactive displays allow shoppers to experience upcoming titles before their official release, building excitement and giving a taste of what’s to come.
Following the addition of titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has now appeared as a playable demo at select retail locations. Reports confirm that the demo is available in certain Walmart stores and other participating outlets, giving fans an early opportunity to step into Samus Aran’s powered-up suit.
The demo comes with a 20-minute time limit, though some players have noted that the available content can be completed in roughly 13 minutes. According to one player who shared their experience online, the demo covers a segment from the game’s prologue. It begins inside a Federation base under assault by Space Pirates, setting the stage before Samus travels to a new planet. This appears to be the same demo version that was previously featured behind closed doors at Gamescom.
For now, visiting a physical store with a Switch 2 kiosk is the only way to try Metroid Prime 4: Beyond ahead of launch. Nintendo has not indicated plans for a digital demo on the eShop, making these in-store events a special, and temporary, preview opportunity. If you live near a participating retailer, it may be worth stopping by to experience this sci-fi adventure early.
