The FIFA 21 release date is 9th October
Due to Corona virus this year the FIFA release date has been moved back to October 9th. If you pre-order the Ultimate or Champions edition you will be able to play on the 6th October. Purchasing EA Access on either console or PC enables you to play FIFA 21 on the 1st October. Usually this allows 10 hours gameplay and FUT progress continues on the full release. The initial release will be on Playstation 4, Xbox One and PC. There is yet to be an announcement on the PS5 and Xbox Series X date. Although if you buy it on your current console you will be able to donwload it for free on the new consoles. Providing you buy them before the release of FIFA 22. If you buy the game on disc rather than digital you need to keep that disc to upgrade and play.
The different FIFA 21 versions and benefits
There are 3 different FIFA 21 versions. Standard, Champions and Ultimate. Standard the cheapest gives a total of 3 rare gold packs. No early access to the game or anything in career mode. It will be cheaper however, more on that below. The Champions and Ultimate editions are quite similar apart from the number of rare packs. From our knowledge of packs you will be very lucky to gain any good players in 1 or 2 rare gold packs per week. The prices and how to buy FIFA cheaper are in the next section.
