Yes, on PC: Saber Interactive’s patch notes say Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival imports a save from the demo into the full game, and since Update 1.2 on November 3, 2026, the full game offers to transfer your demo save the first time you start it. Achievement progress from the demo comes across too. Saber has not said whether the PS5 and Xbox demos, which arrived on November 11, carry over the same way.
This guide covers what Saber’s notes say, how to move your save on Steam, what the demo covers, and where things stand on consoles.
What Saber’s Patch Notes Say
Two official posts on Steam cover the demo import.
- Demo Patch Notes 2 (October 15, 2026). Under a “Save Transfers” heading, Saber fixed “several achievements not correctly carrying their progress over when importing a save from the Demo into the full game,” fixed “the Demo save-import prompt not being localized,” and fixed the “Import” button text not fitting inside its button.
- Update 1.2 (November 3, 2026). In their demo import section, the patch notes say: “The full game now offers to transfer a Demo save the first time it is played.” The same update fixed “some achievement progress not importing from the Demo.”
So both your save and your achievement progress are meant to move across, and Saber has spent two patches making that work.
How to Carry Your Demo Save Over on PC
- Play the demo on Steam. The Steam demo has been free since September 17, 2026, and its store page lists Steam Cloud support.
- Buy the full game on the same Steam account. The import works from your own demo save, so use the account you played the demo on.
- Start the full game. On your first launch it offers to transfer your demo save. Accept it.
- Check your achievements. Demo achievement progress should import with the save. Update 1.2 fixed cases where some did not.
The automatic offer is tied to your first launch of the full game. Saber’s October notes also mention an “Import” button, but they do not say where it sits, so if you want your demo run, take the offer the first time it appears. If you have already started the full game, the worst case is replaying the opening, since that is all the demo covers.
What the Demo Covers
The demo’s store listings describe the same slice of the game on Steam and the PlayStation Store:
- The Prologue, where Aidan follows his girlfriend Sunny into the Labyrinth.
- Part of Episode 1, where Aidan escapes the Scarlet Church after the cult takes the Genesis Configuration, the puzzle box at the center of the story.
It introduces puzzle solving, crafting and combat. The listing saves the Genesis Configuration’s powers, the full arsenal of weapons and their upgrades, and the harder puzzles for the full game. The Steam page also warns that its demo is built from a pre-release version, and Saber has patched it since launch.
PS5 and Xbox
The demo reached PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 11, 2026, as a free download. Saber’s notes on the save import were posted on Steam, and neither the PlayStation Store listing nor the PlayStation and Xbox demo trailers mention save transfer, so Saber has not confirmed in writing that console demo saves carry over.
If you play the demo on PS5 or Xbox and plan to buy, finish the demo before your first launch of the full game. If the console version makes the same transfer offer, Saber’s notes put it on that first launch.
Is the Demo Worth Playing First
If you are on the fence, yes: it costs nothing and lets you play the game’s opening before you buy. Our Hellraiser Revival review recommends the full game to horror and Hellraiser fans and suggests waiting for a sale if you are only curious, and our guide to how long Hellraiser Revival takes to beat tells you what comes after the demo. Once you are into the full game, our guides to beating Charlotte and beating Marlowe cover two of its biggest fights.
