EA’s annual football series will be renamed from FIFA to EA Sports FC this year, although as expected, this will have little impact on the game’s sales. According to UK weekly physical sales data released by Gfk, “EA Sports FC 24” is the second strongest physical version of the game released in the UK this year, second only to “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” and ahead of “Hogwart” “The Legacy of Ci”.
However, there are some things to note. Compared with last year’s “FIFA 23”, its physical sales dropped by 30%, Dring said, which is in line with EA’s expectations for the “short-term impact” of the above-mentioned rebranding on sales. On the other hand, the EA Sports FC 24 Switch version saw a “slight” increase in initial physical sales compared to last year, as it is an updated version of the game rather than the legacy Legacy Editions released for Switch in previous years.
In fact, the NS version of this game is the only one among all platforms to have a year-on-year increase in physical release sales. It accounted for 9% of the game’s total UK physical sales.
EA Sports FC 24 is available now on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC.
