Science fiction fans have reason to rejoice. Capcom has just revealed a free demo of its next title Pragmataa futuristic shooter that evokes both Horizon And Mass Effect. Available now on Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, the game takes everyone by surprise with solid mechanics and astonishing technical performance.
At first glance, Pragmata could have gone unnoticed among the behemoths expected in 2026, such as GTA VI Or Resident Evil Requiem. However, the first feedback is clear: the game could well establish itself as one of the surprise successes of the year. Tested in preview by several journalists, it intrigues with its mix of puzzles and fights against robotic enemies in an immersive space universe.
Technical performance: the Nintendo Switch 2 holds up well
It is especially the Nintendo Switch 2 version that surprises. While many feared a cheap port, the game runs surprisingly well on the new hybrid console. “I played the Pragmata demo in TV mode, and I could have just as easily played on PC or PlayStation 5,” says Kate, journalist for GAMINGbible.
A statement reinforced by his enthusiastic feedback on the technical quality of the title: “No drop in framerate, no visual stutter, and the game did not lack graphic quality. Pragmata worked without a single problem, and in doing so it taught me a very important thing. This demo immediately convinced me of the value of Pragmata, but it also reminded me that we should not underestimate the power of the Nintendo Switch 2.”
Nervous gameplay, controlled atmosphere
Getting started is not immediate, according to the first testers. You have to juggle environmental puzzles and gun battles in technological settings. But once this rhythm is taken, Pragmata reveals all its potential: addictive mechanics, a dark atmosphere, and a setting worthy of the best AAA games.
The fact that such a result is accessible for free via a multiplatform playable demo (Steam, PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2) makes the experience even more accessible, especially for those who are hesitant to invest without a prior trial.
A full release planned for April 2026
The full version of Pragmata is expected for the April 24, 2026. In the meantime, the demo allows you to get a clear idea of the project, and could well convince the most skeptical. Capcom signs here an unexpected return to science fiction, and could strike hard by focusing on surprise rather than overexposure.
For those who are curious, the demo is available for immediate download on all platforms. A free, spectacular and unexpected game: what more could you ask for at the start of 2026?
