EA Sports is getting ready to launch its latest soccer game, EA Sports FC 24, and it will come with numerous Xbox Game Pass perks. The game was officially introduced earlier this week, showcasing significant changes to the gameplay. The trailer highlighted the new "HypermotionV" game system developed by EA, as well as features like unique "Play Styles" that enhance the experience of the latest installment in the soccer franchise. Now, EA has announced special rewards for the new game on Xbox.
EA Sports FC 24 marks a significant departure for the franchise, as it is the first soccer game from EA Sports that does not carry the FIFA branding, which is the international soccer organization. This high-profile separation caused quite a stir in the gaming community last year, as the FIFA franchise is one of the most popular sports games globally. However, EA later confirmed its return with a new name and identity, and confirmed that the series, now known as EA Sports FC, will continue in 2023. Now, Game Pass is collaborating extensively with EA Sports FC 24.
The announcement of EA Sports FC 24's latest soccer game brought with it a range of exciting bonuses for those who pre-order. By pre-ordering the Standard Edition of EA Sports FC 24 through the Xbox Store, users will receive a complimentary month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. However, this bonus is only available to new subscribers. Additionally, like many of EA Sports' other games, pre-orders will grant early access to the game through 10-hour trials, which will be accessible before the official launch for both Game Pass Ultimate and EA Play subscribers.
Pre-orders of EA Sports FC 24 will provide players with a variety of in-game content, in addition to the Game Pass bonuses. Those who enjoy EA's "Ultimate Team" game mode will receive multiple Loan players, including the game's cover star and ambassador players. Furthermore, pre-orders will also offer single-player benefits such as extra Personality points in Player Career and the availability of a 5-star coach in Manager Career.
The launch of EA Sports FC marks the end of the developer's longstanding partnership with FIFA, which used to be prominently featured in the series for nearly thirty years since its debut in December 1993. This change comes as EA Sports seeks to revive other dormant franchises, such as the recent launch of EA Sports PGA Tour in March and the confirmed return of UFC. With a new name, EA Sports FC aims to achieve a similar level of success as its predecessors.
EA Sports FC 24 will release on September 29 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
