Dying Light: The Beast Demo Crashes During Xbox Broadcast, Accidentally Reveals Game Is Running on Steam
Amid ongoing layoffs and internal changes, Xbox has faced several challenges recently. With Microsoft maintaining a significant Xbox presence at gamescom 2025, it should be the ideal venue for the company to promote its games and platform.
During the Xbox gamescom 2025 broadcast, it was revealed that the demo of Dyiing Light: The Beast was running on another platform, and not on an Xbox console.
Yesterday, during the Gamescom 2025 broadcast, Xbox showcased a Dying Light: The Beast demo, where a crash revealed that the demo was running on Steam, not the Xbox version.
Mind, it’s common practice to run games on PC instead of consoles when in development, but this doesn’t look good for a variety of reasons.
Another funny detail is that Xbox did not mention Steam at all during the broadcast. If the game hadn’t crashed, none of us would have known about it, and most likely would have assumed the game was running on an Xbox devkit.
Hopefully, for Xbox’s sake, this is the last time this will happen at gamescom.
Dying Light: The Beast will be released on September 19, following a delay from its initial August release date. While you’re waiting on the standalone spinoff to be unleashed, Techland just rolled out an update for Dying Light 2 yesterday, and this improved stamina drastically for parkour, as well as other quality-of-life improvements.

If you bought the base version of Dying Light 2: Stay Human and upgraded to Ultimate later, you will still get Dying Light: The Beast at no additional cost. The game will automatically appear in your games library on the platform you bought Dying Light 2: Stay Human on.
Additionally, if you bought Dying Light 2: Stay Human’s Ultimate edition, you’ll automatically qualify for a free copy of Dying Light: The Beast in August.
When Techland revealed Dying Light: The Beast, the Ultimate version of Dying Light 2 was removed from sale. It’s no longer possible to buy that edition, but purchasing it would have cost you as much as it would to just buy Dying Light: The Beast outright.

Apparently The Beast was meant to be 2nd DLC for Dying Light 2 but has evolved into a standalone game. It’s also free if you purchased the Dying Light 2; Ultimate Edition. Unfortunately I bought Dying Light 2: Deluxe Edition :/
Dying Light: The Beast is a full standalone adventure that started life as DLC2. As such, it will be available to all owners of Dying Light 2 Stay Human Ultimate Edition at no extra cost.
