Reminder: Mass Effect 3 Demo Out Today on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 [UPDATED]

The Mass Effect 3 demo will finally be available for download later today, on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, according to BioWare, which has just posted approximate release times for each of the platforms.

UPDATE #1: The Mass Effect 3 demo for Xbox 360 can be downloaded at this link.

Mass Effect 3 is Softpedia’s most anticipated game of the year so you know we’re counting down the days until its release next month, on March 6 in North America, and March 9, in Europe.

Until then, BioWare, the game’s developer, is set to deploy the demo for the title today, across all three platforms, including PC, via the Origin digital distribution service, PlayStation 3, via the PlayStation Network, and Xbox 360, via the Xbox Live service.

After confirming lots of details about the game and its actual demo, which includes a single-player and multiplayer component, the studio has now posted estimated release times for the demo on each platform.

According to BioWare’s Twitter account, PC owners will get to download the Mass Effect 3 demo at 12PM PST (8PM GMT), while Xbox 360 owners get it between 12 and 2AM PST (8 and 10AM GTM). Last but not least, North American PS3 owners receive the demo for the role playing shooter between 4 and 8PM PST today, February 14, while those in Europe or Australia get it tomorrow, February 15, between 4 or 8PM GMT.

Don’t forget that, at first, regular players will only be able to experience the single-player portion of the demo, as they have to wait until February 17 to try out the co-operative Galaxy at War multiplayer mode.

Those who bought and activated a Battlefield 3 online pass will have unrestricted access to the multiplayer immediately.

The single-player portion of the demo has two levels, an opening area featuring a Reaper attack on earth, and one where Commander Shepard goes to an alien home world to seek help against the evil Reapers.

The multiplayer segment has two maps, Slum and Noveria, which can be tried out by players and their buddies online.

Let’s hope the demo’s launch will stick to these estimates and we’ll finally be able to experience Mass Effect 3 in all its glory.
