Mina the Hollower Demo Save Transfer — What Carries Over?

AT A GLANCE

Yacht Club Games confirmed progress transfer for the limited-time PS5 demo released in February 2026; the promise does not establish cross-platform transfer.

Yes—the final limited-time Mina the Hollower PS5 demo was announced with progress transfer into the full game. The demo covered the opening stage through the first major boss. This answer applies to that February 2026 PlayStation 5 demo, not to every older preview or backer build.

What the official promise covers

Yacht Club Games called it the final public demo and stated that its progress carries into the full release. PlayStation published the same transfer statement. That supports continuing from the completed PS5 demo rather than assuming the opening must be replayed.

The announcement does not promise that a PlayStation demo save can move to Steam, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or another platform. It also does not say that an unrelated old development build becomes compatible with the retail save. Keep the claim attached to the named PS5 demo.

Before launching the full game

1. Keep the demo save installed until the retail game recognizes it.
2. Use the same PlayStation profile that created the demo progress.
3. Launch the updated full game and follow any import or continue prompt it presents.
4. Confirm the expected checkpoint before deleting the demo data.

Steps two through four are safe preservation checks, not a claim that the game exposes a particular menu label. If the full game does not see the save, do not overwrite the demo slot while troubleshooting; first confirm the profile and local save are still present.

For current computer compatibility, use the Mina the Hollower system requirements. The game overview covers release platforms and the verified toolset.
