A free-to-claim promotion gives you a limited window to add the advertised game to an eligible store account. Check the exact edition, price and conditions before claiming.
A demo is a sample of a game, not ownership of the complete release. It can be time-limited, and progress or saves should not be assumed to transfer unless the developer confirms it.
A subscription listing means access through a qualifying paid plan. Catalogs change, and regional availability can differ. On this site, each kind of access is labeled separately.
