Luke Littler’s ‘Step Back’ Clip Was a Stunt for Xbox’s EA FC 26

The 18-year-old world champion remains entered for the Hungarian Darts Trophy this weekend.

Overview

  • A follow-up video shows Littler strolling into a retirement home to play EA Sports FC 26 on Xbox, closing with the on-screen line “FC26 now on Xbox.”
  • The original message included the off‑camera remark “Do you think they’ll fall for that?”, indicating the announcement was tongue-in-cheek.
  • Littler stays on the Professional Darts Corporation calendar and is set to compete in Budapest as a seeded player.
  • He will face either Joe Cullen or Lukas Wenig in the second round on Saturday evening.
  • The promotion leveraged Littler’s well-known enthusiasm for EA FC, a link many fans flagged when questioning the initial post.
