How to get FC 25 early access
There are two ways players can access FC 25 early but both of them involve spending some money.
The first way is to pre-order the Ultimate Edition of FC 25 which costs £99.99. The high cost does come with a number of bonuses and the ability to play a week before the standard edition of the game launches.
The cheaper option involves buying an EA Play membership. The basic tier costs a reasonable £5.99 per month and offers access to FC 25 on 20th September 2024.
But, there's a catch. Rather than having unlimited access, players will only have a 10-hour trial without having to fork out for the game. For those who decide to buy the game once the trial has ended, all their progression will carry over.
An EA Play Pro membership costs £16.99 per month and grants unlimited access to FC 25 ahead of launch which is the equivalent of buying the Ultimate Edition.
