Is it worth buying the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition?

Electronic Arts has revealed EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition. This premium variant provides additional perks over the Standard Edition that can aid the buyer's in-game career. However, some may want to know what additional content the Ultimate Edition provides before pre-purchasing it.

Buying the EA FC 26 Ultimate Edition isn't necessary for casual play. But if you're aiming to become the top player in both multiplayer and career modes, the additional perks will help you.

However, note that if you wish to purchase the Ultimate Edition, it is worth getting before August 26, 2025.

Players can pre-order the Ultimate Edition for $99.99. However, if they already have EA Play, it will cost $89.99. The Standard Edition is available for pre-order for $69.99.
