Overview
- EA confirmed on July 23–24 that FC 27 will come in three paid editions priced at $69.99, $99.99, and $149.99, with the new Ultimate Plus as the most expensive option.
- The Ultimate Plus edition includes Season 1–5 premium passes, 10,000 FC Points delivered over five months, early‑access perks and exclusive player‑pick bonuses.
- Players reacted quickly and negatively on social media, noting the $150 price is higher than other recent premium editions and comparing its value to GTA VI’s Ultimate Edition.
- Journalists have linked the heavier monetization to EA’s live‑service model and say the move comes as the company prepares to complete a $55 billion sale to a Saudi‑led consortium that could increase pressure to raise recurring revenue.
- Watch for continued pushback from fans, further coverage of FC 27’s final release and access dates, and whether EA adjusts pricing or content as scrutiny grows over microtransaction‑driven progression.
