Spotify has recently announced a collaboration with EA Sports to provide a new audio experience for the EA FC 25 community. As of now, all PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players from Australia and Saudi Arabia can access their very own Spotify playlists in EA FC 25. The feature is still in the testing phase and is likely to go live in the future.
The EA FC franchise is known for introducing several small and big artists and adding their songs in-game for players to explore. Over the years, fans have witnessed iconic songs from the in-game playlists, from John Newman's Love Me and Again to Avicii's The Nights to MGMT's Kids and Kaleo's Way Down We Go.
Moreover, according to a recent post from DonkTrading, the feature is most likely to go worldwide in EA FC's upcoming rendition, FC 26. However, the community doesn't seem very thrilled about it.

An EA FC 25 enthusiast @GODC4L1ST0 showed discontent about the announcement and commented:
"Whats the point if you can use Spotify while playing?"
They asked why players would want to access Spotify in-game when they can use the application itself in the background.

Other X users have also slammed the EA authority about EA FC 25 gameplay. They mainly requested the company to focus on fixing in-game glitches and bugs.

Amid a thread of negative comments, a few users have appreciated this collaboration of Spotify and EA Sports. They seem quite excited to use this feature in-game and can't wait to dive into their customized playlist.
