When does the FIFA 18 demo start today in Germany? At what time can I start the download? When is the demo available in the PlayStation Store (PS4), the Xbox Store, and on Origin (PC)? The gaming community, not just on reddit, is speculating.
The FIFA 18 demo is coming out today, on September 12th! Finally, FIFA fans can comfortably get an idea from home of how FIFA 18 will play. Whether the new gameplay is any good and whether one wants to buy FIFA 18 this year.
The big question is only: When does it finally start? When will the German version of the FIFA 18 demo be released today?
Release time of the FIFA 18 demo – When is the download available in Germany?
EA Sports itself does not provide specific times when the demo will be available in the stores. In fact, the demo was officially announced only a few hours ago on Twitter. Around midnight our time, the developers happily tweeted: Tomorrow (on September 12), you can play the FIFA 18 demo.
A leak from the Xbox Store fueled the rumor that the demo would be released today at 2 AM our time worldwide on all platforms. However, that is not the case. The gaming community worldwide is still waiting for the start of the download.
So when does it start? It will likely go like last year with the demo launch of FIFA 17. It depends on when the stores receive an update. Last year, the Xbox 360 store was first in line. Around noon, the demo went live then.
It was only at 7 PM that the demo was live on all platforms, including PS4. Currently, however, there is still no official release time. We will update this article as soon as something happens.
Update: According to EA, the launch depends on the platform and location.
Update 11 AM: Still no sign of the demo.
Update 2:30 PM: Still no demo in sight.
Update 4 PM: According to PlayStation, the demo should appear “early in the evening” in Europe.
