A FIFA 23 Demo would give many FIFA fans the opportunity to test out the latest edition of EA's football simulation. What was a long tradition, suddenly came to an end two years ago – there was no FIFA demo anymore. Will that change again this year? We explain the current state and show you how you were able to test the EA football simulation in advance.
For years, there was a free demo for EA Sports' FIFA games. But in recent years we have unfortunately not seen a FIFA demo.
No FIFA 23 Demo: EA Cancels Test Versions
A demo for the new FIFA was a tradition for many years. The fact that there was no demo for FIFA 21 and FIFA 22 surprised all FIFA players. And unfortunately, EA has not released a demo for FIFA 23 either – at least not for everyone.
We would appreciate it if EA released a demo again, because that would significantly increase the hype about the new game – at least for us. But since there are no demos not only for FIFA, but also for F1 and NHL, EA is counting on us that we will all buy the game again anyway... without being able to try the gameplay ourselves first.FIFA 23 had a closed beta for selected players only. But there were still ways to play FIFA 23 as early as possible – we'll show you the alternative to the FIFA 23 demo.
Demo Alternatives for FIFA 23: EA Play Trial (EA Access)
The EA Play Trial gave you 10 hours to do whatever you wanted in FIFA 23 before the actual release. Buy FIFA Points, open packs, buy players and play your first matches. The cool thing is that if you bought FIFA, your progress carried over – the bad thing is that the trial phase didn't unlock until September 27 this year.
Since the release was already on September 30, it couldn't really be called "Early Access". But it was good enough to test how FIFA 23 feels like.
