FIFA 21 isn't far away, but if you want to try it before you buy, you won't be able to download a demo like usual. EA Sports has announced that they won't be releasing a demo for this year's FIFA, so as to better focus their time and effort on developing the game.

On Twitter, the official FIFA account explained that while there won't be a demo, EA Play subscribers will be able to trial the game before purchasing. As usual, the EA Play trial gives players access to the game for 10 hours from October 9. The game will also be available to purchase on this date.

While it's not explicitly mentioned in the tweet, the COVID-19 pandemic, along with the arrival of next-generation consoles, has presented challenges for annual sports games--and Madden 21 seems to have suffered.
