Like a few other titles in the franchise, FIFA 21 runs on the Frostbite Engine, developed by DICE (a Swedish video game developer based in Stockholm), a subsidiary of EA.

Here is a short description and history of Frostbite Engine, from Wikipedia:

"Frostbite is a game engine developed by DICE, designed for cross-platform use on Microsoft Windows, seventh-generation game consoles PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, and eighth-generation game consoles PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game engine was originally employed in the Battlefield video game series, but would later be expanded to other first-person shooter video games and a variety of other genres. To date, Frostbite has been exclusive to video games published by Electronic Arts."
