Does Little Nightmares 3 Have Early Access?

Little Nightmares 3 is making its way to all current platforms, but can you play it in early access if you are a super fan of the series and just can’t wait to see small children go through some horrible situations?

In some cases, games will allow players to play a little early if they spend a little more on a deluxe edition, or maybe there can be other unique circumstances.

So, does Little Nightmares 3 have early access?

No, Little Nightmares 3 does not have any early access options available to let you play the game before its October 10 release date. Even if you buy the deluxe edition or 

With that said, there are a couple of interesting circumstances here. First, if you have pre-ordered Little Nightmares 3 digitally on PC, PlayStation, or Xbox, you will be able to download and play Little Nightmares Enhanced Edition in early access. This is a remaster of the original game that releases on the same day as Little Nightmares 3.

So, if you feel like reliving or playing the first Little Nightmares again just before the third game releases, you might want to consider pre-ordering. You do not need to buy 

Is There a Little Nightmares 3 Demo?

While there is no early access available, Little Nightmares 3 does have a demo that you can currently download on all platforms without the need to pre-order the game.

While getting a look at the demo is a great way to get your feet wet and get familiar with it before the full game releases, your progress will not carry over to the full release. It is merely a way to let you see if you enjoy the game enough to want to buy it, or maybe whet your appetite until it gets here.

These days, demos are incredibly rare, given how often they have the tendency to turn away potential buyers, so we appreciate Supermassive Games and Bandai Namco going through the effort of letting people play the game early, even if it’s only in a small demo portion.


Even without an early access version available, are you planning on playing Little Nightmares 3 as soon as possible? Let us know in the comments or on the Insider Gaming forum.

If you are just chomping at the bit at the opportunity to play Little Nightmares 3, you can check the exact start time and release date for the game. Also, make sure you have enough room on your device by checking the game size and pre-load date.
