FC Points packs are also sold separately from $4.99 to $149.99.
What platforms is EA Sports FC 27 on?
The game is on PC (Steam, EA app and Epic Games Store), PlayStation and Xbox. The PC build requires Windows 10/11 64-bit, an EA account linked to your store account, and the EA app installed to play — cross-platform multiplayer connects PlayStation, Xbox and PC players.

Does EA Sports FC 27 have crossplay?
Yes — cross-platform multiplayer is a launch feature connecting PlayStation, Xbox and PC players in Ultimate Team modes including Division Rivals and Weekend League. Cross-play can be toggled in the settings panel if you prefer platform-only matchmaking.
Is EA Sports FC 27 on Steam Deck?
The Steam store page does not list a Steam Deck verification, and the EA app requirement complicates handheld play — the game is built for Windows 10/11 with the EA app running in the background. Community workarounds exist but are unsupported; treat handheld performance as unverified.
What is new in EA Sports FC 27?
The headline additions are The Grounds — a street football social space where playground football meets the stadium — plus community-driven gameplay changes: more run types for off-ball movement, manual 1v1 defending with decisive tackling, and deep free kicks. Career Mode gains Dynamic OVR and expanded Manager Live challenge creation.
What is The Grounds?
The Grounds is FC 27's social hub: a street football playground where small-sided matches, trick shots and pickup games live alongside the main modes. Launch content includes signature street gear and the Tier 3 Amp inspired by Mbappé from pre-order offers.
How do I get FC Points and what do they buy?
FC Points are the optional premium currency: packs range from 500 points ($4.99) to 18,500 points ($149.99). Ultimate Edition owners receive 6,000 points in three monthly installments — claim the first at your initial Ultimate Team login, and complete the steps by 2027-08-01 to receive the full amount.
What came with the pre-order bonuses?
Standard pre-orders included an untradeable 92+ OVR ICON player item for FC 26 plus The Grounds and Career extras. Ultimate pre-orders added a 93+ OVR ICON item, a Player Dribbling Evo for FC 26, up to 7 days early access, the Season 1 Premium Pass and Career Dynamic OVR pre-season boost. All pre-order content required redemption before 2027-09-25.
Does my progress transfer between platforms?
Progress follows your EA account for Ultimate Team club data in modes that support it, but the game requires linking your store platform account to your EA account on each platform. One EA account per club — content is licensed to a single account and is non-transferable after purchase.
Is EA Sports FC 27 free to play?
No — it is a premium release at $69.99 for the Standard Edition. However, the game includes in-game purchases of virtual currency (FC Points) that can buy packs containing random virtual items, which is why it carries in-game purchase disclosures on every platform store.
What languages does the game support?
EA Sports FC 27 ships with full audio support in English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Arabic, Dutch, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Latin America), Turkish and Simplified/Traditional Chinese — with interface-only support for additional languages including Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Russian, Swedish and Portuguese (Portugal).
Where can I buy EA Sports FC 27?
The game is available on the official EA store (EA app), Steam, the Epic Games Store, the PlayStation Store and the Xbox Store. All storefronts sell both the Standard ($69.99) and Ultimate ($99.99) editions — prices can vary by region and applicable taxes.
