John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando just put out a tweet on its official handle on X, announcing a playable demo that’s live as of this moment, and available until March 2, 2026.

You get to bring your buddies along on a couple of missions that are designed to show you the ropes and get you accustomed to the game’s unique brand of chaos. It’s fully co-op (though bots are available), and you’re getting a taste of the zombie hordes that the Sludge God has unleashed upon the Earth. The demo’s a great chance to find your groove and figure out a working strategy with your fellow comrades before the game launches on March 12, 2026.

If you haven’t been keeping tabs on this one, Toxic Commando is a co-op FPS title that promises a unique blend of chaotic action and precise gunplay interspersed with vehicular combat and underlined by creativity and controlled chaos. If that sounds like fun to you, you’re probably going to want to make the most of the demo’s limited window of opportunity. Check out the game’s official Steam page for more details on what to expect.

Although many PC players are quite happy with the chance to try the game out for themselves, the lack of a demo on consoles is turning out to be a bit of a sore spot for the title. You can see the tweet and the comments for yourself below.

John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando launches on March 12th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC.
