Will EA Sports FC 24 be next-gen exclusive?


EA Sports FC

EA Sports FC is the brand new game from EA Sports, breaking away from the FIFA brand to begin a new era in the world of football gaming.

The new title will bring a host of major changes, with some of those details already being leaked.

Official information regarding the game drops in July, but until then there are plenty of questions that require an answer.

Once such question surrounds the future of the game on old-generation consoles, and we've got you covered for everything we know about the game's release so far.

Will EA Sports FC 24 be next-gen exclusive?

Right now, there is no indication that EA Sports FC 24 will be a next-gen exclusive game.

However, with the power of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S playing a major role in the implementation of HyperMotion 2.0 in FIFA 23, there's no doubt that certain features will be missing from old-generation consoles.

CHANGING THE GAME - Certain features in previous years have become next-gen exclusive

There is a possibility that EA set a new precedent and snub releases on old-gen consoles, but that would still annex a lot of players from the game, with these new next-gen consoles only recently becoming much easier to obtain.

Right now, the best guess we can make is that EA Sports FC 24 will release on old-gen consoles, with major new features missing due to the machine not possessing the required power.

Given the size and scope of EA's next major release, the possibility of next-gen exclusive certainly lingers in the background.

EA FC Release Date

If EA sticks to its usual sporting schedule, EA Sports FC will likely see a release date on Friday, 29 September 2023, in keeping with the FIFA titles that have gone before.

However, there have been whisperings of an early release date in keeping with the start of the real-life football season. With the 2023/24 Premier League season kicking off on the weekend of Saturday, 12 August, we could see a release date in mid-August instead!

EA FC Brand Reveal

At long last, EA has revealed its new brand vision, identity, and logo for EA Sports FC.  The brand design takes inspiration from the iconic shape of triangles in football.
