You can download the demo version of FIFA 18 today, and publishers EA have also released the game’s system requirements.

To manage football teams, build theme parks, or fly planes, try some of the best simulation games on PC.

The demo doesn’t seem to be on Origin yet, but apparently it will be later today (Update: here it is). It includes Kick Off mode with a selection of clubs and stadiums, and a preview of the next chapter in Alex Hunter’s career as FIFA 18 picks up the franchise’s story mode where its predecessor left off.

Apparently, Cristiano Ronaldo and Thierry Henry make appearances, and there are new playable characters. Available clubs in Kick Off mode include Manchesters United and City, plus Bayern Munich, PSG, LA Galaxy, Real Madrid and Juventus.

The full version of FIFA 18 is out on September 29. If you’re an Origin Access member, you get to play over a week early – from September 21.
