But even if an English demo won't release, the Japanese demo of the game is still available to download on the eShop and PlayStation store. While it's possible this could change in the future, the chances of that happening doesn't seem likely, should this information be true.
PERSONA 5 PC RE;EASE PS4
RPGSite’s hands-off preview of the game states that, “ When asked if there were plans to bring the demo that was seen in Japan for both PS4 and Switch, I was told that unfortunately there were none.” The reasoning for this is unknown.

The game released in Japan in February 2020, with a demo releasing on the PS4 and Switch weeks before its launch, though the English release will also be released on Steam, continuing Persona's growth in the PC market. This sequel to Persona 5 blends together Dynasty Warriors combat with some of the JRPG mechanics in Persona, though the game doesn’t take the events of Persona 5 Royal into account. Rumors floated about for the past year, but it wasn’t until an English trailer leaked that the release of Persona 5 Strikers in the west was confirmed for next year. There was much debate over whether or not Persona 5 Strikers would be localized at all.
In a year where Persona has seen the release of several games, be they new releases or ports, this strikes as an oddity.
Persona 5 Strikers has recently been approved to get a western release, but it seems like a free western demo might not follow suit.
