EA Sports FC 25: Release Date and Editions

According to a leak from Dealabs, a well-known gaming deals website, EA Sports FC 25 is scheduled to hit store shelves on Sept.27. The game will reportedly be available across multiple platforms, including last-generation consoles like the PS4 and Xbox One.

Two editions of the game are expected at launch: a Standard Edition and an Ultimate Edition. Leak reports suggest the Standard Edition will be priced at USD $69.99 (PC), while the Ultimate Edition will cost USD $99.99 (PC).

The benefits of the Ultimate Edition haven't been officially revealed yet, but leaks suggest early access to the game and potentially additional in-game content.

Ultimate Edition Buyers Will Be Granted With an Early Access

PlayStation Game Size, a Twitter account known for uncovering game file information, recently shared the logo for FC 25 on a backup account. This, combined with Dealabs' history of accurately predicting game announcements based on logo reveals, suggests an official announcement for EA Sports FC 25 could be coming within the next 10 days.

According to the leaks, the Ultimate Edition will grant buyers early access to the game, allowing them to kick off their FC 25 journey a week before the official release date, on Sept. 20. Additionally, EA Play subscribers might also be offered a 10-hour trial during this early access period.

Can FC 25 Reclaim the Pitch?

While FC 24 didn't quite match the sales success of its FIFA 23 predecessor, it was the team's first outing under a new brand.

Leaks suggest EA Sports is focused on bouncing back with FC 25. With more details expected in the coming weeks, fans can gear up for an official announcement and potentially more information about new features and updated gameplay.

Back in May, Tech Times reported that the next FIFA game will be carved out of 2K Games. You might be familiar with NBA 2K and other related titles. Now, you get the gist this time: we might see FIFA 2K25 coming to life as the leak suggests.
