Which EA Sports FC 25 Edition do you choose?

EA Sports has officially announced the new football game, EA FC 25 (FIFA 25). Although the release is imminent, fans can already pre-order several EA FC 25 editions, such as the Standard and Ultimate editions. We will explain everything to you so you can make an informed choice.

True to tradition, developer EA Sports offers multiple EA Sports FC editions. Like last year, there are two EA Sports FC 25 editions available. These are the Ultimate Edition and the Standard Edition. Both versions of the popular soccer game have their advantages, cover art and price tag. The versions are equivalent in content.

EA FC 25 (FIFA 25) Standard Edition

The EA Sports FC 25 Standard Edition is the basic version of the new football game. If you pre-order this version, you will receive the game on the day of its release, and you can enjoy all the new features and updated game modes within EA Sports FC. In addition, you simultaneously receive the following bonuses:

• Ultimate Team Player Loan Item

• One Ambassador Loan Item

• Clubs PlayStyles Slots

• 250000 Clubs Coins

• Player Career Personality Points, 3 ICONs in Player Career, a 5-star Coach in Manager Career and a 5-star Youth Scout in Manager Career.

Fans can purchase the EA Sports FC Standard Edition for various platforms, including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Windows).

EA Sports FC 25 (FIFA 25) Ultimate Edition

There is the EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Edition for gaming fans who want that little extra. This version of the football game is identical in content to the Standard Edition. The difference, however, is in the bonuses you receive with a pre-order or regular purchase. Here are all the extras:

• Up to 7 Days of Early Access

• 4600 FC (FIFA) Points

• One Player Evolution Slot

• Early Access Rush Rewards in Football Ultimate Team and Clubs

• Untradeable Ultimate Team Hero Player Item (see pre-order)

• Untradeable Ultimate Team Player Item in EA FC 24 (see pre-order)

• Access to Nike Ultimate Team Campaign & a Nike x EA Sports FC Ultimate Team Kit

• All other bonuses that the Standard Edition gets

Pre-order EA FC 25 for Limited-Time rewards

Players who pre-order the Ultimate Edition before August 20th receive extra limited-time rewards. They receive an untradeable ICON Player Item in EA FC 24 and an Untradeable Hero Player Item in EA FC 25.

EA Play Early Access in EA Sports FC 25

Since the EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Edition gives players a 7-day head start, we expect the 10 hours of Early Access play through EA Play will not give players any extra benefit. In EA FC 24, the 10 hours started at the same time as early access, meaning purchasing the Ultimate Edition is the best choice for EA Sports FC fanatics.

What is the best choice?

It's entirely up to you what the best EA Sports FC 25 edition is. Do you play EA FC daily, and are you a real EA FC fanatic? Then purchasing the EA Sports FC 25 Ultimate Edition is worth considering. Even if you expect to switch to the current generation of consoles shortly, you should buy the Ultimate Edition.

However, in terms of content its not optimal. All features, game modes and seasonal content are identical in both editions. Do you already have a PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S or a PC and don't care about the bonuses? Then the standard version will also suffice. Even if you have no plans to switch consoles, you should opt for the cheaper version.
