Bethesda has announced that a free trial is now available for The Evil Within 2. This free trial will let players experience the terrifying opening chapters of the game.
In The Evil Within 2, Sebastian Castellanos must once again confront unspeakable horrors within the nightmare born from the infamous STEM. This time, however, Sebastian’s mission is personal: He’s searching for his daughter Lily, who he thought he had lost many years ago, and it’s now a race against time as the world crumbles around him. Sebastian must rescue Lily before everything falls apart and they are both lost in STEM.
Unfortunately, and as we’ve already covered in our PC Performance Analysis article, the game suffers from optimization issues. Tango Gameworks has not released any performance patch and the game is simply unable to take full advantage of modern-day graphics cards.
Now we don’t know whether this is something that can be easily fixed or not. We also don’t know whether this is due to an increased number of drawcalls, even though this seems exactly the same issue that plagued DOOM (in OpenGL) and other DX11 titles. Since this is happening on both AMD and NVIDIA GPUs and the game does not stress CPUs, we can only conclude that the DX11 API is at fault here.
But anyway, Bethesda has also released a brand new trailer, dedicated to the game’s free trial, that can be viewed below. Those interested can download the free trial from here.
Enjoy!

Nah, i recomend people pass on this one.
Performance is not acceptable on this game.
Hey publishers . . How about a demo before the game is out ? Not a tiral aftet release and after cracked . . . .
They seriously need to fix the stuttering on this game. The fact that the general performance level is low makes it hard to justify until it is cheap (and hardware is good enough to power through), but the persistent stutter is a deal breaker. It seriously hampers the experience.
Depends on your hardware. It ran flawlessly on my 3470 and I can imagine it will be even better on 8400.
It really is a tempermental game.
I ran it on a 6700k/1070 and 16GB/3000 RAM at 1080p (loading off an SSD).
Framerate averaged 70-80, but stuttering was ever present. I’ve seen people with better machines than mine have the same issue.
It’s not a hardware power issue.
It seems this game work well with low spec rig,but troublesome on high end pc
