EA SPORTS FC™ 26 | Feedback Update - November Technical Test

Intro

EA SPORTS FC™ is powered by player feedback and this year we’ve listened closer than ever before. Through our Player Feedback Portal, Discord, and social channels, we’ve gathered over 730,000 data points from community discussions since the launch of FC 26. This feedback has directly shaped new updates and features in FC 26, and will continue to influence future FC innovations.

As part of this continued commitment, invited players from the UK, USA, and Canada will take part in a technical playtest for a future, world-based football experience, starting today, November 3. 

This hands-on playtest is the biggest of its kind for FC, designed to help us gather feedback earlier in development than ever before, using pre-release content which will not represent the final version. With social gameplay and self-expression at the centre of EA SPORTS FC, this test marks a new chapter in how we build and evolve The World’s Game together with our community. 

This playtest runs alongside our ongoing updates to FC 26, with teams across multiple studios working on the continuous development and implementation of community feedback to deliver the best possible experience.

What is the Technical Playtest?

This is a technical playtest with pre-release software. Our goal is to test a range of innovations, technical performance, and stability by giving invited players a hands-on experience of several early, limited, in-development features in an all-new mode in FC. The results will contribute to our ongoing development of the experience which we plan to release in a future EA SPORTS FC title.

As this is a closed test, it will contain errors/defects and it does not accurately represent the final quality upon its future release.

Content in this EA SPORTS FC technical playtest will not be coming to FC 26.

How will the Technical Test work?

Select players in the USA, Canada and UK, who had signed up for EA Playtesting will receive invites to test, play, and provide valuable feedback to our development team to help shape this future EA SPORTS FC innovation. This technical playtest is only available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Participants are not allowed to share content from the test, and their participation is subject to the  Pre-Release Feedback Agreement, EA’s User Agreement and Privacy & Cookie Policy.
