Steam Free Download Is About To Eat Up All of Our Time

Steam has dropped a free download that may very well eat up all of our time, so there’ll be no time to touch grass anytime soon.

As great as the PlayStation Plus and Xbox Game Pass subscription services are, sometimes it’s more ideal to check out a free playable demo to see first-hand if a game is worth coughing up our hard-earned cash.

What’s more, demos can often reduce the chances of us throwing our money down the proverbial drain, instead of spending it on a game that ends up being a major disappointment.

One such demo that can potentially save us some money, or more accurately, give us an indication of money well spent, is for Lumines Arise, developed by Enhance and Monstars Inc.

“Journey through over 35 stages of synesthetic sensory wonderlands, everything from lush jungles to buzzing neon streets to more surreal experiences, matching blocks and crafting insane combos with the all-new Burst mechanic,” reads the description of the game on Steam.

“Mix it up with a variety of other single-player modes and challenges, or test your mettle against friends or strangers in online multiplayer.”

Judging by the Lumines Arise trailer released a couple of months ago, fans are hyped for its full release later this year.

“Tetris Effect walked so Lumines Arise can friggin' FLY,” declared nashanthename1886.

“WE ARE SO BACK!” yelled Cublex.

“I did not expect a new Lumines game in 2025, but holy crap, I can’t WAIT! Straight into my veins, please!” exclaimed Dac_vak.

"Crossing my fingers for Switch 2," commented a hopeful nathanlopez5610.

"I freaking loved Lumines on my PSP," replied MarcusRandolph.

You may be pleased to know that the Lumines Arise demo is also available on PlayStation 5 and is compatible with PS VR2.

Lumines Arise will be released on 12 November 2025, so try it out now ahead of that date.
