Leaked several days ago and now confirmed as part of Sony's latest State of Play broadcast, the playable demo for Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is available to download from the PS Store. It weighs in at a whopping 48.6GB, which is huge for a pre-release peek.
The demo itself will take you through Rebirth's prologue, as Cloud joins Sephiroth on an expedition through Nifelheim and its surrounding mountains, before checking in on the local mako reactor. And yes, you do get to play as Sephiroth. Beating the prologue in the demo allows you to skip the same section in the full game.
What's more, the demo will be updated between now and the full launch of Rebirth on the 29th February. Said update will add an explorable area around Junon, allowing you to delve a little deeper into the game's open world and combat mechanics.
Oh, and if you need something to keep you entertained while you wait for the demo to download, you may want to give our new Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth preview a read:

I was hoping for something more complete — as in, chapter 1 complete with an import — but this sounds like little sample followed by a little sample. But then it's a bit much to expect the whole first chapter.
Either way, I'm downloading now
