If you’ve been eyeing EA Sports FC 25 but haven’t made the leap yet, there’s some good news headed your way. The Switch version of this much-talked-about title will soon be available for a week-long free trial. Yes, you read that right, no strings attached!
The game joins EA’s line-up in Nintendo’s Game Trial program, allowing players to dive into the whole experience without paying a dime. From February 24 to March 2, subscribers of Nintendo Switch Online can download EA Sports FC 25 and play as much as they want during the trial period.
This isn’t just a measly demo that restricts your gameplay; it’s the entire game at your fingertips! Once the trial wraps up, any aspiring managers who decide they’ve enjoyed their time on the pitch can purchase the game from the eShop and carry over their saved progress. Talk about a sweet deal!
This announcement marks an exciting shift for EA’s football series on Switch. For years, players felt short-changed with previous titles lacking many features found in versions for other consoles like Xbox One and PS4. Remember when FIFA 18 hit shelves? It was more reminiscent of Legacy editions from Xbox 360 and PS3 than anything else.
The following installments, from FIFA 19 through FIFA 23, offered little more than roster updates and fresh music tracks while recycling gameplay modes. But things changed with EA Sports FC 24, finally bringing feature parity across platforms.
The latest installment doesn’t disappear, point either! With new modes like the thrilling 5v5 Rush, it’s clear that EA has finally decided to give Switch owners what they’ve been missing out on all these years.
If you’re itching to lace up those virtual boots and take control of your favorite teams without losing cash upfront, now’s your chance! Who knows? This might just be when you fall in love with football gaming all over again.
