FIFA 22 Early Access Countdown: Ultimate Edition access is just hours away

The time is almost upon us, FIFA 22 will release soon for early access via the Ultimate Edition.

The EA Play Trial is currently available offering players their first taste of the game, and their first chance to get started in Ultimate Team too!

With a limit to 10 hours of gameplay though, we are looking ahead to the first full access to the game when the Ultimate Edition is released in just a few hours time.

Release Date

If you have pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 22, then you will probably know that the release date arrives on Monday, 27 September.

It will release at 00:00 BST meaning access starts at the stroke of midnight.

Without the Ultimate Edition, you will have to wait until Friday, 1 October to get your hands on the full game at launch.

If you weren't already playing the game, then the EA Play Trial is still live and offers 10 hours of gameplay, but you will need an EA Play membership to do so.

Pre Orders

There is still time to pre-order the Ultimate Edition, so what are you waiting for?
