The Sporting News has the scoop on when you can get your hands on FC 25 and show off your skills to your friends.
Release Date for EA Sports FC 25
The standard version of EA Sports FC 25 will be globally available to the public on September 27.
This release date aligns with the game’s annual tradition of hitting the market around the same time each year.
For those eager to play early, there are options available (details below).
Early Access to EA Sports FC 25
If you opt for the FC 25 Ultimate Edition, you can start playing the game on September 20, a full week before the standard release date.
Do note that the Ultimate Edition comes at a higher price compared to the standard version.
Additionally, EA Play members will have the opportunity to enjoy a free trial of the game 10 hours prior to the standard release.
Platforms Supported by EA Sports FC
EA Sports FC 25 will be accessible on six platforms: PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
Reason behind the Name EA Sports FC 25
After a 30-year run of producing the renowned FIFA video game, EA Sports parted ways with FIFA in 2023 and introduced their independent game, FC 24.
Hence, FC 25 marks the second installment of EA Sports’ new franchise.
While FIFA is exploring new partnerships to revive its gaming brand, no significant developments have emerged since the split.
Featured Cover Athlete for FC 25: Jude Bellingham
The upcoming edition of FC will showcase Jude Bellingham, the rising star from Real Madrid and England, on its cover, as revealed by EA Sports.
Bellingham’s stellar performances for both club and country have positioned him as a top contender for the upcoming Ballon d’Or award.
At just 21 years old, Bellingham had a remarkable season with Real Madrid, making a significant impact with his goals and assists in various competitions.
His standout moments also include key contributions to England’s journey to the Euro 2024 final.
