For those of you looking for a solid release time for today’s grand unveiling of the FIFA 13 demo, EA Sports have taken to their official Twitter account to give those specific times for the three major release platforms – PC, XBox 360 and PS3.
While that was very helpful of them, PS3 users will no doubt be slightly upset that they are once again being treated like second class gaming citizens with a later release date than both PC users (who can download their demos right now) and XBox 360 players, who will be able to download very soon.
The FIFA 13 demo went live first on PC at 9am UK Time this morning and will then release some time between 10am and 2pm for Xbox 360 gold members. PS3 users will have to wait until tonight, in a window between 10pm-2am for the game to hit the PS Store, facing a twelve hour wait to get their hands on a game that XBox 360 users could potentially get as early as 10am.
FIFA fans outside the UK will also be able to access the demo over the next 24 hours or so, and EA have provided some useful links to those key times: you can find the global release time schedules for the FIFA 13 demo with WorldTimeBuddy on PC here, Xbox 360 here and PS3 here.
You can find out exactly what the demo will include by heading here.

FIFA 13 is horrible. PES 2013 for me this year! Best football game since ISS64!
Dunno what planet your on, but it sure ain’t earth. Pro evo is not even remotely in the same class as FIFA. Both graphically and in features, gameplay etc. you say pro evo I say FIFA – Check for yourself the biggest selling sports game. Muahaha pro evo
fifa is the best football game of all time
where is it then it 2 10 now
Why is it not on my xbox yet ( switserland)
at 10 am it comes out for you on xbox 360
this like a baby crying for food where is it
Literally just finished playing the fifa 13 demo, and after playing fifa for the past 5 years, i’ve gotta admit… It looks like i’m definitely buying PES this year!!
PSN are trialling behind again. Any news on a PS4 yet? Surely It’s about time….?
I Fuking hate how ps3 always have to wait after xbox is it because Xbox live.
yawn………….still no fifa 13 on psn………..do yeah think they forgot about us with the demo maybe…….what the buzz with ppl on about buying pes this year……now thats one football game i hate.fifa have to be the best football game out there like.
Still no demo yet… PS3 user here who is waiting to see what features FIFA13 has against PES13. Having played PES already. I can honestly say FIFA12 is better than PES13 in terms of fluidity and the slickness of how the on pitch action takes place and I’m in no mind confident that FIFA13 will do the same. PES13 has official leagues but no form of Live Season or Match Day whatever you want to call it and is not even worthy of being competition with FIFA.
End of.
