FC 25 EDITIONS
FC 25 has two editions – Standard and Ultimate Edition – featuring different release dates, prices and pre-orders offers.
FC 25 Editions
EA Sports has consistently released FIFA titles annually since 1993. However, it wasn’t until FIFA 18 that Electronic Arts opted to introduce distinct editions with varied content for the same game. The objective was to craft a specific product that players could resonate with, enhance engagement, and generate additional revenue.

The Ultimate Edition not only boosts your FC 25 team but also enhances your FC 24 squad if you pre-order before August 20. By purchasing it, you will immediately receive an Icon or Hero card in the GOTG version.
Release Dates
For Football Club enthusiasts, the standout feature of the priciest edition is the early access privilege. Unlike purchasers of the Standard Edition, who must wait until midnight on the launch date, Ultimate Edition owners gain the advantage of kicking off their gaming experience seven days ahead.
The FC 25 trial initiates four days prior to the official release date, but gameplay is restricted to a maximum of 10 hours, which may not suffice for many players. Opting for the Ultimate Edition provides unrestricted access to the full game.

FC 25 Editions Prices
If the price were identical, the Ultimate Edition would undoubtedly be the preferred choice. It’s logical, considering it encompasses all the offerings of the standard edition and adds several more. This is why it comes with a higher price tag.
FC 25 Prices fluctuate based on the edition and platform. Variations can also arise depending on the timing of your purchase, your region, the store, as well as any ongoing promotions or discounts.
