Kingdom Hearts Cloud Version Switch Demos Removed from eShop in the US

bekir May 24, 2026 2 min read 157 views

When the cloud versions of Kingdom Hearts were first made available on the Switch eShop, players could test a “free demo” before purchasing the full experience.

With an update, those same demos have now been removed from Nintendo’s U.S. digital store (thanks, My Nintendo News). This means that the full cloud versions of the games are still available for purchase.

Analysis: The removal of demos from the U.S. store could influence potential buyers’ purchase decisions and raise questions about cloud gaming strategies.

Each cloud version’s page still contains the text: “This game requires an internet connection. Please try the free demo before purchasing.”

Although the demos are no longer listed on U.S. store pages, they remain accessible in regions such as the United Kingdom and Japan. Square Enix has not issued an official statement regarding the removal of these demos, but we will keep you informed if we receive new information.
