Silver Pines Trailers: Announce, Gameplay and Preview Videos

When did the Silver Pines announce trailer come out?

23 October 2025, during the Galaxies Showcase. That is the video that introduced private investigator Red Walker, the half-abandoned town and the missing musician behind the game’s core line, “Find Eddie Velvet” — and it is the video that put the game on the map.

Team17 published its announcement post the same day, so the trailer, the news story and the first screenshots all landed together. The platform list in that reveal was PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch. The Switch 2 version and the Microsoft Store listing did not exist yet; both arrived with the June 2026 date announcement.

There was no release date attached to any of it. Rely on Horror’s report from 25 October 2025 explicitly noted the game was coming “in 2026” with the date still open, and it stayed open for another seven months. Gematsu carried the reveal the same day, and the announce cut remains on the official YouTube upload.

When was the Silver Pines gameplay trailer released?

12 March 2026, at the Future Games Show. This was the first extended look at how Silver Pines actually plays rather than how it looks, and it is the clip most coverage from that week points back to. Watch the gameplay trailer on YouTube.

Gematsu’s same-day report highlighted what had changed in the official copy: the feature wording had been revised to “Investigate the Town of Silver Pines” and “Survival Horror Gameplay”, with new lines about limited inventory space and scarce ammo forcing players to choose between fighting and fleeing. Bloody Disgusting picked the trailer up on 13 March, framing it as Twin Peaks fused with survival horror and noting the metroidvania angle — better tools and weapons opening more of the town. Rely on Horror followed on 14 March with the same read: Red wakes in a seemingly abandoned town, the Eddie Velvet case darkens, and every decision matters because resources are scarce.

Niche Gamer and GoNintendo filed their own pickups the same week, and the cut has sat on the game’s Steam store page alongside the announce trailer ever since.

When did the Silver Pines release date and demo trailer air?

1 June 2026, during The Horror Game Awards Showcase (its “Midsummer Night’s Scream” edition). Watch “Silver Pines | Release Date and Demo Trailer” on YouTube.

The video did two jobs at once: it premiered the 8 October 2026 release date, and it landed on the same day the free Steam demo went live. Team17’s press release followed the next day under the headline “The Nightmares Are Coming!”, and every launch-detail story from that week — platforms, Switch 2, the ten voiced languages — traces back to this announcement. For the full breakdown of what the date package included, our release date, platforms and price page tracks it line by line.

The showcase host also published its own upload of the spot, titled “Silver Pines - Official Demo Launch Trailer | The Horror Game Awards Showcase 2026”, which is useful if the official channel copy ever moves.

[!tip] The trailer’s demo is real, and it is still the fastest way to judge the game The demo the June trailer advertised is playable on Steam, Windows-only and English-only. Two hours with it tells you more than every trailer combined — and if you play it, read our demo save transfer page first, because that progress does not carry into the full game.

Is there a Silver Pines launch trailer?

Yes — it was published on 8 October 2026, the day the game launched on PC and consoles. The day before, pre-orders opened on Steam; on launch day itself, Team17’s Steam news post announced “Silver Pines is Out Now on Steam. Watch the Launch Trailer above!”

The trailer exists in two easy-to-reach places: IGN’s “Silver Pines - Official Launch Trailer” video page and the YouTube upload.

That closes a loop of just under a year: the Galaxies Showcase reveal in October 2025 to launch day in October 2026, with five major videos in between.

What other official Silver Pines videos exist?

Between the announce and the launch, Wych Elm and Team17 put out a short, dated sequence of official videos. This is the full list we can source:

Steam carries the trailers itself rather than only linking out: during the September pre-launch check, the game’s store page had the announce, gameplay and Horror Game Awards cuts attached to it, and the demo page carried the announce and showcase cuts as well. The playlist below bundles the same videos plus a PS5 release-date cut whose exact air date we could not pin down, so no date is claimed for it here.

[!note] There is no confirmed standalone official YouTube channel Silver Pines does not have a Wych Elm or Team17 channel of its own that anyone has verified. The four surfaces that consistently carry official video are the official YouTube playlist, Team17’s own channel, the Steam store pages, and the @SilverPinesGame account on X. A channel or playlist not linked from those four is a reupload, and reuploads can disappear without warning.

What preview footage exists besides the trailers?

The honest answer: outside the trailers, the two substantial pieces of moving footage are IGN’s 12-minute gameplay video and the demo itself. Everything else in the preview window was written coverage from hands-on or hands-off sessions.

• January 2026 — journalists played the opening hour at Team17’s Leeds event. The Shacknews interview with Mattias Snygg and Linus Larsson and Rock Paper Shotgun’s later feature both grew out of that session.
• 26 May 2026 — IGN published “12 Minutes of Survival Horror Gameplay”, the longest unedited stretch of the game available before launch.
• 1 June 2026 — the demo went live and three same-day written previews appeared: PC Gamer on the opening hour, Bloody Disgusting (which called the payphone save system “a clever variant on the classic Resident Evil-style ink ribbon system”), and Finger Guns on a two-hour preview build.
• 5 August 2026 — CGMagazine published its first look alongside an interview with Snygg and Larsson, and Kyusai Media ran a hands-off developer preview the same day.
• 19 August 2026 — IGN’s preview by Travis Northup, “It Plays and Looks Like If Alan Wake Were Made in the ’90s”, went up and the official Steam news feed reposted it the next day.
• 3 September 2026 — the first “Behind the Pines” dev blog on Steam covered animation and rotoscoping. It is written rather than video, but it is the studio’s own account of how the footage in those trailers was made.

If the demo footage is what sold you, the demo covers the diner, the town streets and the Crimson Bear Motel — the same ground our walkthrough Part 1 walks through step by step, and the same opening our beginner guide prepares you for.

Where will new Silver Pines videos be posted?

The same four places they have always appeared: the official YouTube playlist, Team17’s news page and channel, the Steam news feed on the game’s hub, and the @SilverPinesGame account on X. The developers have never run a separate video blog or channel, so anything new — a post-launch update trailer, a patch showcase, a season-style reveal if the game grows one — will surface on those surfaces first. The playlist is the single link worth bookmarking if you only want the videos and not the coverage around them.
