How to Play EA Sports FC 24 Early on PlayStation 4/5?

Yes, you can play EA Sports FC 24 early on both PlayStation 4 and 5, but it requires a lot of effort. It’s not as easy as other consoles, as you need to create an entirely new PlayStation PSN account and have it set to New Zealand. However, this also involves finding a legitimate New Zealand address to set up your account.

You also need to purchase New Zealand dollar gift cards to redeem on this account in the PSN store so that you can purchase EA Sports FC 24. Sony will not allow you to use any form of payment that is not from New Zealand. Once done, you need to set this account as the main account on your PS4/5 to game share so you can play it on your normal account.

Apart from using this method, there is no way to play the EA Sports FC 24 early on PlayStation 4 and 5.

There are two ways to play EA Sports FC 24 early without resorting to the New Zealand trick. The first is by purchasing the EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition, and the second is by being part of the EA Play Subscription or EA Play Pro subscription.

EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition

The Ultimate Edition will be available from midnight local time on Friday, 22 September 2023. This has been confirmed by the EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition PlayStation store page. By purchasing this, you get to play FC24 seven days earlier than the Standard Edition of the title.

EA Play Subscription

If you subscribe to EA Play, EA’s standard subscription services offer members a 10-hour game trial for certain games. If you are a member of EA Play, you’ll get to play EA Sports FC 24 for up to 10 hours before its release.

EA Play Pro Subscription

If you subscribe to Ea Play Pro, the highest tier EA offers, you’ll get access to the EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition. This means you can play EA Sports FC 24 seven days before the standard version releases.

While the anticipation is high, it’s essential to approach early access methods with caution. Faking your location or using other tricks might seem tempting, but they come with risks. It’s always best to wait for the official release or use legitimate methods like pre-ordering or subscribing to EA Play.
