Is EA FC 24 free?

EA FC 24 is not free-to-play and will continue as usual, with a paid model with different editions available for players to choose from.

The rebrand will not impact the availability of the game, which will continue to be available in stores and online on multiple platforms.

Contrary to what fans may have expected, especially due to the incredible popularity that EA built for sports games, such as Madden and NHL, the company will not change the payment model that has accompanied FIFA and the rest of its titles until now.
