Big news: EA just raised the edition ceiling
EA Sports FC 27 is rolling out in multiple versions — and one of them is a wallet intimidator. The Ultimate Plus Edition will cost €159.99 on consoles (€149.99 on PC), which puts it above the regular Ultimate and standard copies by a comfortable margin.
To put it bluntly: this is the priciest edition EA has offered for any of its games to date. If you were wondering whether EA had a new definition of “premium,” here it is.
What you actually get (and why some players care)
The Ultimate Plus bundle stacks everything from the lower tiers plus a handful of extra perks. Highlights include one-week early access, a bigger stash of FC Points to speed up your progression, season passes for Seasons 1 through 5, an EVO item that boosts physical stats, and an exclusive pick from five named players.
There’s also a time-sensitive kicker: certain bonuses need to be redeemed by August 31. EA is pushing buyers to grab the Ultimate Plus before that deadline or risk missing some items.
On the gameplay front, more FC Points and Season Pass content can shorten the grind and give you earlier access to roster-building goodies. The EVO physical boost can change how a player performs on the pitch, too — so these extras do have real in-game effects beyond vanity.
As expected, the announcement has split the community. Some fans are outraged at the price and worry about pay-to-win dynamics. Others shrug and treat it as an optional convenience for collectors or heavy FUT players who want to accelerate progress.
Bottom line: if you’re a casual player, the core game still exists at lower price points. If you chase competitive advantage, cosmetics, or the fastest route to a packed roster, this high-end edition is designed for you — but it comes at a steep premium.
