Beta and Demo
An open beta for Section 8 was made available at FilePlanet. Access to the game's beta was originally limited to residents in the U.S and Canada, but the beta was later made public. Attendees of Multiplay's i37 also got a beta key despite being in the UK.
A downloadable demo was released on Xbox Live on August 21. 2009. This multiplayer-only demo allows for online play on Xbox Live or offline play with AI-controlled bots on one map for indefinite playtime.
