FIFA 21, the last chapter of the annual football simulation EA Sports, will not have a free pre-launch demo. To announce it is the same Electronic Arts through a press release, in which it justifies the choice by stating of "Use the resources available to ensure the best possible gaming experience".
We aren't releasing a demo for FIFA 21.
Instead we've made the decision to focus our development team's time on delivering the best full game experience for current & next-gen consoles.
We look forward to EA PLAY members jumping in 10 days from now and launching the game Oct 9.

As we already reported a few months ago, the first builds of FIFA 21 for consoles current-gen they were immediately very similar to last year's edition, generating great controversy among the community of fans. Also, given what happened with Madden 21, EA may have entered the stage damage control to ensure as many pre-orders as possible before the game launches.
