Flamecraft PS5 demo available now, full game later 2026

Cozy strategy fans on PlayStation finally get a date window and something to download today. Monster Couch's digital take on the Flamecraft board game is headed to PS5 later in 2026, and the free demo is live on PlayStation Store now.

What PlayStation and Monster Couch confirmed

Writing on the PlayStation Blog, Monster Couch community manager Mateusz Pokrzywniak said the full game lands on PS5 before the year is out, with the demo available immediately:

I'm super excited to share that Flamecraft is coming to PlayStation 5 later this year. In the meantime, if you're curious to see what awaits you in Flamecraft's whimsical town, the demo is available today on PlayStation Store!

What the demo includes

Per Monster Couch's blog post, the PS5 demo lets you:

Visit a selection of the town's unique shops

Meet Artisan and Fancy Dragons from the full game

Play against bots on three difficulty levels

Run local multiplayer for up to five players on one console

Complete a fully narrated interactive tutorial voiced by Becca Scott (Good Time Society), with a small reward for finishing it

How the full game plays

Flamecraft is a cozy, turn-based strategy adaptation where you play a Flamekeeper who can talk to dragons. You place Artisan Dragons into shops, manage resources, fire enchantments for combos, and chase Reputation toward Master of Flamecraft. Shops and dragons become a shared engine every player can use, so timing matters as much as greed.

Modes called out for the full release:

Solo, with achievements that unlock story beats about building a lighthouse beacon for distant dragons

Local custom games with friends and/or bots (up to five on one console)

Online short matchmaking, long matchmaking, or custom lobbies

Tiny Artisan Dragons are the heart of the shopping district
