EA Sports FC 25 Will Reportedly Release This September, According to Leak

EA is looking to usher in a new era of soccer gaming with an EA Sports FC 25 release date of September 27, 2024, according to a recent leak.

Information on the FC 25 launch plans comes from Dealabs and reliable leaker Billbil-kun. A report from the site reveals the apparent release date alongside a handful of other details about its price and purchase options. Sports gaming fans are said to have two purchase options: Standard and Ultimate. It appears the former comes with the base experience for $69.99, while the latter offers seven days of early access starting on September 20 for $99.99. EA Play subscribers can also take advantage of early access thanks to a 10-hour trial.

FC 25 hasn’t been officially revealed yet, but Dealabs expects to see it announced within the next 10 days. No platforms have been promised yet either, though X/Twitter account PlayStation Game Size says it will at least come to PlayStation 4, which would mean that an Xbox One version is likely if that information is accurate. For reference, last year’s FC 24 launched for PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X | S on September 22, 2023.

EA’s soccer outings were previously known as FIFA but saw a shift following the expiration of a nearly 30-year partnership with the FIFA brand. The fallout has resulted in the name change to EA Sports FC and a new logo as the series has moved to kick off a new beginning. It got its start with FC 24 last year.

EA has yet to confirm a release date, pricing information, or any details about FC 25. While we wait for a potential announcement, you can read our 7/10 review of last year’s installment. At the time, we said, “It might have a new name, but EA Sports FC 24 is just about the same, frustrating but beautiful game that FIFA’s been for many years.”
