How to Play DELTARUNE for Free

DELTARUNE has a free demo covering Chapters 1 and 2 for PC and Mac, available through deltarune.com. The full game — Chapters 1–5 — is available now on Nintendo Switch, PC/Mac, and PlayStation, and additional chapters are planned as free updates. So if you want to try before committing, the demo is the entry point; if you want the complete current story, you'll need the paid release on one of those platforms.

What's free vs. what's paid

The site lists the demo explicitly as "Demo (Chapter 1&2) Available For Free PC / Mac." Everything beyond that — the current Chapters 1–5 package — is presented as a release across the three platform families above.

How to find the download or purchase links

1. Go to deltarune.com.
2. Look for the "Available Now" section near the top of the page, which carries the "Chapters 1-5" heading and the platform listing (Nintendo Switch, PC / Mac, PlayStation).
3. For the free demo, look for the demo listing on the same page — it's labeled as free and scoped to PC / Mac.
4. If you want email updates about future chapters, the site offers a free mailing list signup ("Subscribe for free e-mail updates").

The site's own framing is that Chapters 1–5 are out now "with more planned as free updates" — meaning future chapters are described as arriving at no additional cost to owners of the current release, not that the current release itself is free.

What you're actually getting

DELTARUNE is described on the site as a parallel story to UNDERTALE, written by Toby Fox, with pixel animation by Temmie. Key points from the official description:

• A linear, chapter-based system you can pick up from anywhere
• Bullet-dodging, nonviolent RPG battles inspired by the Touhou series and Chrono Trigger
• A large soundtrack
• New main characters plus familiar faces like Toriel and Sans
• Hidden bosses described as "Jevilishly difficult"
• "Only 1 ending...?"

That last item is worth noting if you're the type of player who replays for multiple endings — the site teases a single ending.

Common snags

• The demo isn't listed for consoles. The free demo is scoped to PC / Mac on the site, so don't expect a free console trial from this page.
• "Free updates" ≠ free game. The phrase refers to future chapters being added as free updates; the current Chapters 1–5 release is a paid product on the listed platforms.
• Platform availability differs by content. If you only have a console, the demo route isn't the one described here — you'd be looking at the paid Chapters 1–5 release instead.
• No pricing is shown on the page. The site doesn't list prices or payment platforms, so check your platform's store for current cost.

If your goal is simply to see whether the game is for you, start with the free PC/Mac demo of Chapters 1–2. If you already know you want the full current story, go straight to the Chapters 1–5 release on your platform of choice.
