The delay announcement can be found below followed by the original demo announcement:

We sincerely apologize, but this morning’s newsletter was sent erroneously.

The Starbites Steam demo requires additional time for development and is not currently ready for release. We regret any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding. Further updates will be shared in a future newsletter.

There is no information about a potential Xbox Series X|S or Nintendo Switch 2 demo, but knowing how most Switch 2 Edition releases work, the demo will remain for Switch 1. This demo covers the prologue and save data will carry over into the final game at release as well. Starbites launches on May 21 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam). 

You can find the demo trailer with more details from NIS America below:

We are excited to announce a Steam demo is now available for Starbites, with PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch demos coming soon.

Play through the prologue of the upcoming RPG Starbites as Lukida, Badger and Gwendoll! Try the battle system’s unique mechanics, like Driver’s High and Barrier Break, and begin leveling up each character’s talent tree! 

Down-on-her-luck Lukida finally has a ticket to get off the desert planet of Bitter. But on a routine scavenger job, a giant Motorbot shows up and knocks her unconscious. When she wakes up in one piece (adding only more burden to her debt), she discovers her ticket has been stolen! Lukida enlists the help of her friends Gwendoll and Badger to track down the thief and get back her first chance at a new life!

Demo save data will transfer to the final game upon release.
