EA Sports FC 25 Worldwide Release Times Confirmed

EA Sports has confirmed FC 25 early access and worldwide release dates on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and S, PC, and Nintendo Switch.

The popular FC 25 Companion & Web App will launch on September 19, allowing fans to start their Ultimate Team club online. A revamped Companion App will launch on September 20. Ultimate Team 24 players will get “something extra,” EA Sports announced.

If you pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of FC 25, you’ll get access to the early access launch, which starts at midnight local time on September 20 on consoles and 5am UK time on PC. As is standard for EA Sports’ FC series and the FIFA games before it, EA Play members will get up to 10 hours of FC 25 trial access starting from the early access launch. EA Play Pro members (PC only) will get unlimited access, however.

EA Sports said the early access period will include Team of the Week 1, Rush Objectives, Player of the Month SBCs, Special Evolutions, World Tour and Squad Foundations releases. You’ll also get the chance to earn Season Points in the new FC season.

The global launch will then follow at midnight local time on September 27 on console, and at 5am UK time on September 27 on PC. Check out all the details below.

EA FC 25 features a number of graphical options never before seen in the series or its predecessor FIFA. Headlined by the addition of ray tracing for the first time in either FC or FIFA, the latter of which was EA Sports’ football video game series before the company’s high-profile split from world football’s governing body in 2022.

In addition to ray tracing, a new graphics mode is coming to FC 25, giving players the choice between Enhanced Visuals or Favor Resolution. Enhanced Visuals features augmented lighting and graphical detail in upscaled 4K resolution, while Favor Resolution features standard lighting in native 4K. It’s worth noting that both graphics options will clock in at 60 frames per second during gameplay in order to maintain responsiveness.

In another first, FC 25 will show time progression during a match. For more, check out IGN’s roundup of all the changes coming to FC 25.
