The Final Fantasy XVI (FF16) demo is currently available to download on the PlayStation 5 as of June 12, 2023. Its release date and times were announced during the Pre-Launch Celebration Livestream held on June 11th, 2023.
Note that a player's demo prologue save data can carry over to the base game, so demo story progress won't be naught once the full game releases.

The Final Fantasy XVI Demo covers the first two hours of the game. These opening hours, or the Prologue, will familiarize players with the new battle mechanics, the world of Valisthea, as well as the beginnings of Clive and his allies.
The demo also introduces players to the main cast of characters that will join Clive throughout the game, such as Joshua, Jill, and Torgal.
The Eikonic Challenge Mode will be playable after completing the Prologue to get a feel of how combat works in the later stages of the game, including previews of Eikonic Abilities available to Clive.
Timely Accessories are neat tools designed to make gameplay easier via quick time events, especially for beginners in the action genre. This will be made available in the Battle Demo so players can experiment on what style they want to play when they explore Valisthea.
Final Fantasy XVI's demo prologue save data can be transferred and will carry over to the base game. However, do note that progress from the Eikonic Challenge Mode of the demo does not carry over to the base game.
How to Transfer Demo Save Data Progress
With the game centering around Eikon versus Eikon battles, the demo caps off with an intense kaiju-like Eikon battle.
