Overview

  • Standard edition launches worldwide on Sept. 26 across PS5/PS4, Xbox Series X/S and Xbox One, PC, Amazon Luna, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
  • Ultimate Edition early access is live with in‑game bonuses, with UK pricing reported at £100 for those perks.
  • Reviews highlight markedly smarter goalkeeping, improved defending and AI pathing, plus sharper presentation touches.
  • Technical coverage and EA materials confirm the Switch 2 version includes HyperMotion but is capped at 30fps, unlike 60fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
  • EA’s new structure brings Competitive and Authentic presets across modes and updates to Ultimate Team with Live Events, a Challengers tier and repeatable Evolutions, as server-status checks indicate services are currently operating.
