'''The ARMS Global Testpunch''' is a free online demo of ARMS that is scheduled to take place May 26 through June 4. It became available to download ever since the ARMS Direct on May 17th, 2017. Upon booting it up, the player will be taken to the demo's title screen, where they must press '''L'''+'''R''' to start. If the player attempts to start playing outside of one of the scheduled time slots, a communication error will occur and they will be returned to the title screen.
