PSA: The PlayStation Store updates each week on Tuesdays between 9am and 7pm PST
As everyone is getting excited about the possibility of the demo becoming available, I thought I'd clear something up.
A lot of people keep asking when it might appear on the PlayStation Store. According to their FAQ:
The PlayStation™Store game content is updated every Tuesday. Updates generally occur anywhere from 9:00 am - 7:00 pm PST, but update times are subject to change. Movies and TV Shows, however, can be updated as frequently as daily.
So if the Store updates sometime later today, and the demo isn't there, we need to wait another week.

That’s not entirely true. Things can become available at any point in the week. They’re just generally uploaded into the store on Tuesday. That’s not the same as being made publicly available.
True, the Platinum Demo for FFXV was released on a Wednesday, they uploaded a trailer for the demo and pushed it all over social media as soon as it was available.
The fact that the files are already known to be in the PSN store, (and being hacked open- good god, what that means for the main game that was found..) I would guess the demo is not far off, why hand over the files a month before sharing them with the world, ya know? And the actual Game itself is only 2 months from release at this point, so this is a rush job on a demo I think.
Imo, they had a Demo from their game shows, they want to drive last minute preorders for their game, they have finished up the game development and are just working on last minute day 1 patches and getting it lined up for physical copies being made and sent around the world. So they took a week or two and rehashed their earlier demo into a little bit longer demo with some extra scenes and maybe a little trailer, and of course a release date and preorder Now link. The earlier they push this out, the better for their sales and preorders.
