EA Sports FC 25 fans can start opening UT packs before Ultimate Edition launches with the Companion app
EA SPORTS FC 25 is almost upon us, as the game releases for ultimate fans tomorrow (September 20, 2024).
Those with early access will soon be able to start enjoying the game, but standard edition fans will have to wait a little longer.
The full release is on Friday, September 27, 2024, but even if you are waiting for this date, you can start playing before then.
Real fans all know that the season truly kicks off with the EA FC 25 Companion App, where you can open packs, manage your team, and trade players even before you play a single match.
Best of all, it’s completely free and can be downloaded for iOS or Android, or used from any web browser.
There are even some bonuses for Companion App users who played EA FC 24, so it’s definitely worth picking up if you’re a fan of the series.
Here’s what you need to know about the EA Sports FC 25 Web and Companion Apps’ release dates and features.
