FIFA 21 News

FIFA 21 has been confirmed to arrive on PS5 and Xbox Series X - any progress on Volta and FUT 21 will carry over to the next-generation version.

Not only that, but buying the game once will give you dual entitlement, so you won't need to buy the game a second time. This is only applicable if you upgrade to the next console in the same family i.e. Xbox One to Xbox Series X or PS4 to PS5.

Your next-generation version of the game, acquired by dual entitlement, will be digital-only.
