Curious about Resident Evil spinoff Umbrella Corps but not sure if you want to buy it? You're in luck, as Capcom has released a limited-time demo for the game on the PlayStation 4.

The free demo arrived on the PlayStation Store today (download the 3.7 GB file here) and will be available until 11:59 PT on Saturday, July 23. You can play as much as you want for the 48 hours, but after that, you'll need to buy the game, which sells for $30, to continue playing.

In a blog post, Capcom said the Umbrella Corps demo is "feature-rich," containing the game's online modes and maps. This includes the newly released free Spencer Mansion DLC.

Additionally, Capcom confirmed that existing Umbrella Corps owners and demo players will be grouped together. Umbrella Corps is also available on PC, but the free demo appears to be exclusive to PS4.

GameSpot's Umbrella Corps review scored the game a 3. Critic Peter Brown said, "Its systems are either unreliable or illogical, and as a result, it feels almost impossible to get a foothold. The first time an enemy kills you when they should have been dead, you may shrug it off. When it happens the dozenth time, you'll probably wonder why you're playing Umbrella Corps at all. There's ultimately no good excuse."

Resident Evil 7 is also on the way, scheduled to launch in January 2017 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. A free demo for the game is available now on PS4.
