Following its breakout moment at the Xbox Showcase in June, the game’s demo marks the first hands-on opportunity with this highly anticipated blend of horror, musical chaos, mystery, comedy, and renovation simulation.

Details & Information
In There Are No Ghosts at the Grand, players inherit a decaying English hotel and must restore it by day—then defend it from spirits by night. Alongside a sardonic cat, a talking power tool, and a twisting supernatural mystery, players uncover a story told through humor, horror, and music.
The hotel’s residents and visitors all carry secrets expressed through a variety of musical genres—spooky ska, wartime jazz, skater punk, and more. Each character’s narrative unfolds through their own song and story.
But once the sun sets, renovation tools become supernatural weapons. Players can:
- Unleash the vacuum to banish vengeful spirits
- Expose invisible threats using the paint sprayer
- Blast slithering ghosts with a full bookcase via the furniture cannon
As players explore the Grand, restore its rooms, and untangle its mysteries, they’ll encounter creeping horror and Lovecraftian secrets that grow stronger each passing night.

Launching in 2026, the full game will be available on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Xbox Game Pass on day one, with more platforms to be announced later.
The newly launched demo provides a substantial preview of the narrative, musical encounters, supernatural battles, and restoration gameplay that define the full adventure.
