The free demo for "FIFA 16" will be released today, Sept. 8. The free demo will be available until Sept. 10, reports Independent UK. It will be available in the following platforms: Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and the PlayStation 4.

At the beginning of the demo, gamers will automatically be sent to the kick-off in an El Clasico match at the Bernabeu, between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid CF.

Other teams available in the demo include Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach, Chelsea FC, and Inter Milan, reports Segment Next. They are in addition to these other teams: Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, River Plate and Seattle Sounders.

After the initial kick-off, players are free to explore some of the other features included in the demo. Some will help gamers get a feel for "FIFA 16," before its full release later this month.

One new feature of the FIFA franchise, which is included in the demo, is the "FIFA Ultimate Team Draft." Bedforshire explains that the FUT Draft feature allows players to build their own team and try them out in an offline match. According to Daily Mail, gamers will get to choose from 17 Premier League Stars in "FIFA 16."  

Gamers who download the demo will definitely benefit from it. There are at least two features included in the demo that will give gamers an edge over those who wait until the full release of the game on September 22.

FIFA Trainer is a new contextual training system in the game. It will give players tips during a Kick-off or FUT Draft. There are also new skill games, which will get players nimble and ready for a match.

Bedfordshire explains that the new skill games will pop-up while matches are loading. There are six new skill games in the "FIFA 16" demo.

Another cool feature in the demo is the Bundesliga Broadcast Presentation, which is only available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC platforms. This feature can be activated when Borussia Dortmund visits Borussia Monchengladbach at Borussia-Park.

The demo can be downloaded through the PlayStaion Store or Xbox Live, reports Standard UK. Meanwhile, demo downloads for the PC has yet to be confirmed.
