EA announced FC 27 on July 24, 2026, with three pricing tiers: Standard at $69.99, Ultimate at $99.99, and Ultimate Plus at $149.99. The Ultimate Plus edition costs $50 more than the $99.99 Ultimate edition of GTA VI.

The FC series, previously known as FIFA, has released a new title each year since 1994, typically costing around $70 for the base version.

The Ultimate Plus edition includes up to seven days of early access, 10,000 FC points, five months of premium pass access, and additional digital items. Some users on social media said the 10,000 FC points are worth about €82 or $93, while others said the $149.99 price is high for a roster update and blue points that may be used on a player rarely used. One comment on X said the player would be willing to pay $200 for a game expected to last 15 to 20 years. Another user said EA wants €150 for a roster update and blue points that may be used on a player rarely used. The base game and the Ultimate edition remain priced at $69.99 and $99.99, respectively. Steam reviews for FC 26 show mixed feedback, indicating continued debate over the series’ value.

EA has not responded to the criticism, and the pricing structure for FC 27 remains under discussion among consumers.
