By Indie Kings | October 4, 2026

Updated October 4, 2026: Castlevania Belmonts Curse launches October 15 on PS5, Xbox Series X and S and PC, with Switch later in 2026. The public demo is out Oct 1 and save data carries into the full release, so players can start early and continue after paying $29.99 on Xbox or $30 as printed in demo news.

The price is $29.99 on the Xbox store. Demo news prints $30. This article reports both figures as printed by each source.
