With EA FC 24 just weeks away from being released, players can get a head start by pre-ordering the Ultimate Edition of the new game.

EA Sports has been revealing tons of information about EA FC 24 over the last few weeks, as the publisher attempts to move away from FIFA 23 and towards the first instalment of the EA Sports FC series. EA has released deep dive trailers for gameplay and Career Mode so far, whilst we have also been given big updates on Ultimate Team and Clubs, with even more on the horizon.

One of the first official bits of EA FC 24 revealed was the cover for the Ultimate Edition of the new game, and players can now pre-order the Ultimate Edition of EA FC 24, with some fantastic bonuses included as always, including early access. Here's everything you need to know about the EA FC 24 Ultimate Edition.

EA FC 24 Ultimate Edition

The Ultimate Edition of any new EA Sports football game is always popular with players, as it offers a number of exclusive pre-order bonuses. The most popular pre-order bonus is early access, with players who pre-order the Ultimate Edition being given seven days of early access to EA FC 24, up from the five days the FIFA 23 Ultimate Edition offered last year.

It is the most expensive edition of the game however, with the Ultimate Edition of EA FC 24 costing £99.99 / $99.99 / AU$149.95 on Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PS5 (or £89.99 at Amazon right now), which makes it significantly more expensive than the EA FC 24 Standard Edition, which comes in at £69.99 / $69.99 / AU$109.95 on the same consoles.
