EA Sports FC 25 Officially Launches The First Paid Premium Pass Of Season 7

EA Sports FC 25 launched a paid pass for the first time, aiming to enrich the game content and allow us to get a better gaming experience. Prior to this, all passes in the game were free. The launch of this season pass is likely to indicate that the game is transitioning to a paid model. Next, this article will introduce you to the content included in newly launched Premium Pass and the views of developers and fans.

The launch of paid passes in video games has become a common phenomenon. This phenomenon means that developers allow players to experience all the free content in the game and still enjoy some exclusive game content by paying. This model has been adopted by many games including Fortnite and Call of Duty Warzone. Paying players can enjoy more exciting and unique content.

Premium Pass Content

Premium Pass will be released on April 24, the developer announced. The price of Premium Pass is 500,000 UT Coins or 1,000 FC Points worth $9.9. It rewards include Season Points for in-game rewards, Tradeable Packs, EA Sports FC 25 Team of Season Retro and PlayStyle+ Evolution Upgrades, and TOTS Flashback cards and TOTS Honourable Mentions based on the 2024/25 season.

Premium Pass owners can also unlock Franck Ribery’s Immortal Icon card with a 96 OVR rating, as well as some TOTS Retro Cosmetic Evolutions.

We can choose to purchase FC 25 Premium Pass at any time during Season 7, and we can choose to experience the free content before deciding whether to purchase it.

Fans’ Views

Currently, the relevant game communities and forums are full of fans discussing this matter. Many fans are dissatisfied with this, believing that FC 25 is already a paid game, and the introduction of Premium Pass is tantamount to an additional charge and a tool to make money.

You still need to upgrade to unlock most of the rewards in the game, and you will also need a lot of FC 25 Coins to get some guaranteed cards in the game. The appearance of Premium Pass is tantamount to guiding players to spend directly.

But there are also some fans who are looking forward to getting the rewards of the premium pass and experiencing richer, more exciting and more unique game content.

Clarification From The Developer

The developer stated in its blog that Premium Pass is only an additional feature and will not affect the standard-level rewards in the game, nor will the standard-level rewards be transferred to the paid pass. Players who choose free can still get continuously growing rewards in the game.

The introduction of the paid pass is to provide some players who are worth investing with additional carefully planned content, so that they can experience more exciting features than the standard version. In order to be fair, we can choose the free standard version pass to get those exciting rewards. Premium Pass is an option rather than a necessity to stay competitive.

The developer also emphasized that both passes are designed to provide more complete content for game’s Ultimate Team, Clubs, and Career Mode. And it is guaranteed that the appearance of Premium Pass will not affect the overall gaming experience of standard version players.
