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.

According to the latest news from EA’s official blog: “We have been working hard to create a safe and fair gaming environment for all players. Therefore, we will add the EA AntiCheat anti-cheat system to Battlefield 2042 Season 6 when it is launched in October. “

“Battlefield 2042” has been using the Easy Anti Cheat anti-cheating system, which is often referred to as the “Little Blue Bear”. It is found that according to EA officials, the game will seamlessly transition to the new anti-cheat system:

 When we add EA's anti-cheating system to it, players won't notice any difference when logging in and playing games, but this will help our team find and eliminate cheating players.

EA said: “Third-party anti-cheat solutions are often not transparent to our team and do not allow us to add privacy control options or enable high-precision customization for EA-specific game modes. When using EA Anti-Cheat, we We have complete visibility into its security and privacy status. So if any security issues arise, we can fix them immediately.”

Regarding why it updated to kernel-level anti-cheating, EA said: “For a game as competitive as “Battlefield 2042” and containing multiple online modes, it is absolutely necessary to adopt kernel-mode protection measures. Cheat programs are in the kernel The cheat was not detectable by anti-cheat solutions running in user mode when operating in the space. EA Anti-Cheat not only protects our PC players from cheaters, but also protects the use of Battlefield 2042 cross-platform play features Console players who are matched against PC players are not affected by cheaters on the PC platform.”

Lyndsay Pearson, VP of Creative for The Sims series, said, “We intend to make Project Rene free to download, which means that when it’s ready and fully open to our players, everyone will be able to join and play Project Rene first without needing to subscribe or purchase core gameplay and energy mechanics.”

“We want to make it easy for you to invite your friends to join, and that means opening up invitations to everyone.”

She added: “We’re developing this game in different ways and moving forward with everyone, which means there will be many different stages of development, potentially including everything from closed invites and a small open beta to a massive early experience.”

“Yes, when Project Rene is ready, it will be available for free download.”

She added that Project Rene will not be as comprehensive as The Sims 4, which has been expanded several times with new content since its release in 2014.

“We wanted to focus on creating a colourful and cohesive gaming experience from the start, so it definitely won’t have =things you already have in The Sims 4, but we will be adding new experiences and content to Project Rene over time.”

She explained, “In addition to the usual updates to the core game, we’ll be selling content combo packs, but we want to change that mix a little bit. So, let me give you an example here. In The Sims 4, the only way to experience the weather you wanted was to buy seasons. Now, in Project Rene, we might offer everyone a basic weather experience for free. Then, you can also purchase a pack that focuses on winter sports, such as activities like ice dancing or snowman building contests.”

“Meaning that in the future we could also use wind, rain or clouds as other themed packs. It’s too early to be definitive about where we’ll draw the line, but it’s important to us to reduce those barriers to play and offer the widest possible shared system to everyone, because that feels like the strongest possible foundation.”

She added: “Project Rene and The Sims 4 will continue to co-exist. We plan to support both, and we will continue to bring more exciting content to The Sims 4 for the foreseeable future.”

In April, EA announced that The Sims 4 “reaches more than 70 million players worldwide,” and EA CEO Andrew Wilson said last week that the company plans to significantly increase its focus on a handful of big online games over the next few years.

The publisher will “disproportionately” invest in “large online gaming communities” such as EA Sports FC, Apex Legends and The Sims, which Wilson believes have “exponential growth” potential. Wilson sees “exponential growth” potential in these areas.
