It seems it is likely that EA Sports' upcoming FC 24 is not going to include upgrades for current-gen players in an existing edition. This year, the EA Sports FC game has been the subject of attention frequently this year, due to many reasons. One of the most notorious incidents was an article that was published in April, when an supposed leaked presentation claimed FC 24 Coins encourages players to purchase EA Sports FC box loot.

EA immediately claimed that the leak was not true, but EA has always maintained microtransactions in its sports games whether for good or bad. With FC 24's release date set, EA took the time to provide a Q&A page on its website regarding the issue of dual entitlement. While many companies have been embracing free upgrades to the latest versions of their games however, it appears that EA's sports titles won't be following in the footsteps of other companies.

The website of EA Sports' website, the company has dedicated a whole page for answering questions regarding the latest console updates A.K.A. Dual Entitlement. After explaining the concept behind Dual Entitlement is, EA goes on to explain how it works. And, immediately it states that "Dual Entitlement is available only when you purchase the FC 24 Ultimate Edition. This is because the Standard Edition of FC 24 doesn't include the Dual Entitlement." To avoid any doubt following reading the statement, EA then proceeds to in a very clear manner that "if you buy FC 24 Standard Edition on PS4 and then upgrade to PS5 later, you will have to buy the PS5 version in order to play."

For those who aren't familiar, FC 24's Ultimate Edition is available to pre-order at $99.99 USD ($89.99 USD for players who already have already purchased an EA Play subscription), and it's Standard Edition is going for $69.99 USD. This FC 24 Ultimate Edition order includes additional bonuses for players, like entry to the game four days before launch and further FUT boosts with players and exclusive premium products. In addition, the release mentions that FC 24 is yet to include crossplay.

As mentioned above, EA is no stranger to making moves that many might call "greedy," but something about the idea of putting an upgrade to a console behind a paywall is shocking. The Xbox Series X/S as well as PlayStation 5 PlayStation 5 will still be just one year older when FC 24 releases (not by much for the Xbox but still) and a lot of people are unable to obtain the console they prefer due a shortage and scalpers. The decision to release this kind of game this early in the console's generation is likely to be considered an anti-consumer move by many gamers, and it could look like EA Sports trying to get as many FC 24 Ultimate Editions sales as they can.

The newest soccer simulation from EA, FC 24. has been unveiled, and it appears like EA is putting its new technology to use for the latest editions of the game that will open the door to a lot of new possibilities to the franchise's soccer. While it's unlikely FC 24 will be a massive jump for EA's franchise, it appears that EA is attempting to utilize the latest hardware to accomplish more in the series and continues to improve the game's gameplay.

EA Sports FC has been the subject of news many times this year ahead of the announcement. EA was in the middle of a storm when it was reported that the publisher tried to push EA Sports FC loot boxes at players. The company has denied the allegations however many are still raising the question of whether the game is managing its monetization in an ethical manner, no matter the extent to which it is being promoted. But this bad publicity has not hindered EA Sports FC coming back later in the year to be in full force.

FC 24 has been revealed by EA (via IGN) and even though there's no gameplay footage in the first trailer however, there will be revealed at Cheap EAFC 24 Coins Play in the coming months. With Xbox Series X/S, PS5. And Google Stadia, the game will use EA's latest HyperMotion technology and machine learning technology to "deliver the most fluid, realistic and flexible game experience in football." FC 24 will release on October 1. 2021. It will include the Paris Saint-Germain player Kylian Mbappe as the cover athlete.
