EA FC 26 has been at the center of discussions ever since launch. The game’s early days were rough, with players criticizing animation glitches, inconsistent pacing, Ultimate Team pack odds, and server instability. Despite the rocky start, EA gradually improved things through multiple patches, and the most recent updates have softened some of the initial backlash.
Now, EA FC 26 has received its first major price drop since release. The Standard Edition is currently 50% off on the PlayStation Store, marking the biggest discount the game has seen to date. For players who skipped the launch window whether due to mixed reviews or the high price, this is the most accessible entry point since release.
The discount applies specifically to the Standard Edition, but the community is already wondering if EA will extend similar promotions to other versions later in the season. Considering the timing, the price cut also arrives at a moment when many players are preparing for new cycles in Ultimate Team and Career Mode, making it a strategic move on EA’s part.
After a turbulent debut, FC 26 finally seems to be settling into a more stable place and this 50% discount may help bring a wave of new and returning players back onto the pitch.
Stay tuned to both X and VGNW for more updates and upcoming store deals.
