EA FC 25 early access: All details explained

EA FC 25 will have an early access period that will allow players a quicker start to their yearly grind.

EA Sports had included an early access system for past games belonging to the FC series (or FIFA as it was known earlier). While the core system remains the same, there will be some changes this year. Moreover, there’s a suitable way to enjoy early access without spending any money.

How to participate in EA FC 25 early access?

There’s more than one way to make use of EA FC 25‘s early access.

• The Ultimate Edition entitles you to early access when it launches on September 20.
• An EA Play membership allows you to enjoy a free trial, which commences with early access.
• EA Play Pro membership (exclusive on PC), which includes the full game on day one.

All Ultimate Edition players will be able to enjoy seven days of early access before the full launch on September 27. This includes complete access to all game modes like Ultimate Team, Career mode, and more. All their in-game progression will also carry over to the full launch.

If you have an EA Play membership, you can enjoy up to 10 hours of gameplay without having to spend any extra money. The trial is expected to begin the same day as early access. If you choose to convert your trial to a full purchase at any point, all your in-game progression will carry over. You’ll also get a 10% discount on your purchase.

Finally, EA FC 25 will be available on day one on an EA Play Pro subscription. Pro is the upgraded tier of the base subscription which is available only for PC users. Not only will you get up to seven days of early access, but there are more benefits like FC Points, Ultimate Team packs, and more.

Can you play full EA FC 25 in early access?

EA FC 25‘s early access will include the full game and all available game modes. Even if you don’t own a copy and want to exercise the benefits of EA Play, all modes will be available. The benefits of EA Play can be combined with Standard Edition (which doesn’t offer early access) – you play up to 10 hours of early access and then continue with the full game on September 27.

EA Play Pro members will have most of the benefits that are entitled to Ultimate Team owners. However, the free FC Points will be distributed in three separate batches.
