It only arrived on PS4 and Xbox One. Players hoping to get a chance to jump into a game on PC and Nintendo Switch will have to wait until the full release date, on 27 September.

There's just 10 minutes to go until the Fifa 20 is released, if rumours are to be believed.

Here's what EA has to say about it: 

Fifa 20 for PlayStation 4 brings two sides of The World’s Game to life - the prestige of the professional stage and an all-new authentic street football experience in EA Sports Volta Football.

Fifa 20 innovates across the game, 'Football Intelligence' unlocks an unprecedented platform for gameplay realism, Fifa Ultimate Team offers more ways to build your dream squad, and EA Sports Volta Football returns the game to the street, with an authentic form of small-sided football.

Virgil Van Dijk looking pretty pleased with himself here, and rightly so. 

It's been a good year for the Dutch defender: Champions League winner and Fifa 20 cover star.

The Fifa 20 demo offers players the chance to play as one of half a dozen teams: Chelsea, Real Madrid, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint Germain and Liverpool.

Three stadiums host the matches: The Bernabeu in Madrid, as well as Chelsea's Stamford Bridge and the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

In a bizarre turn of events, the #Fifa20 hashtag on Twitter has been hijacked, with dozens of accounts using it to share videos about Isis.

Legitimate posts relating to Fifa 20 on Twitter seem to express mixed reactions about the demo.

Some are saying it's just like Fifa 19 but with a different cover and kits, while others are praising it for its gameplay.
