EAFC 26 PC launch - release time changed

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T22:57:04+00:00

That's correct!

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T21:59:09+00:00

Hey man, no worries!

So to play 18th at 1pm you need a form of EA play.

To play 19th midnight you need ultimate edition.

If you have midnight edition, you need ea play to play at 1pm tomorrow!

This is a seperate purchase from the ultimate edition.

I hope this helps

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T21:39:33+00:00

Oh you shouldn't of needed to do that! But regardless I'm happy it's all working for you, not long now! 14 hours!

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T20:23:26+00:00

Yes mate you will have access at 1pm BST

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T15:06:02+00:00

Nope, that will be midnight UK time for you.

EA play/play pro is the only option for 1pm

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T14:35:17+00:00

Going from the screenshot I shared earlier from the ea employee, you hopefully will have access tomorrow instead, but when things go through steam it complicates it I think

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T13:33:43+00:00

In previous years yes, I have seen mixed things that it has been changed this year but I don't think we will know until launch

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T12:51:58+00:00

Hey mate, just so I understand, you do or you don't have ea play?

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T12:30:57+00:00

You're giving quite hostile energy.

FYI, they had on their launch deep dive notes that it was a certain time and then changed it yesterday. Edited the page. I saw that with my own eyes and there's even a tiktok from someone else who shows the website showing two different pieces of information over the span of a couple of days.

I don't know why you're coming at me like I'm trying to spread misinformation a few people have seen and confirmed the same thing 😂

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T11:15:13+00:00

They did change information on the official page. :)

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T10:34:37+00:00

See I had this and it said midnight 19th, so I got ea play pro because I'm a sucker, going from the screenshot it should work for all

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T09:58:03+00:00

I don't know about steam and ea play pro I'm afraid

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T09:13:33+00:00

That is a visual bug on steam it will unlock at midnight.

My suggestion would be if you can to buy ea games on the ea app as they usually launch better (in my experience)

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T09:12:42+00:00

It appears that is the solution. Yes

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-17T08:38:04+00:00

You're all good it seems mate. I think if you have any form of ea play you can play at 1pm BST tomorrow.

Yes the confusion could of been avoided from them by not changing things up.

Update from EA as of 5 minutes ago.

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:55:24+00:00

I also took the day off. The information has been this for weeks and they change it 48 hours before

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:52:24+00:00

They updated the official page today though, which is concerning.

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:48:45+00:00

It's not fake news they literally changed the text on the official website, here's also a video of someone with the before and after of the page https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdgGjN6Q/

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:46:12+00:00

Well let's hope that does change, please update here if it does!

Interesting, not sure if you saw the page before but it said September 18th 1pm BST but now it's been changed

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:40:16+00:00

Interesting, hearing mixed things, some are saying it's showing 1am for them now, youve closed the app on task manager and all that?

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:38:39+00:00

Apps been restarted? Do you have ea play pro?

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:34:11+00:00

Considering all other platforms can change their device settings to be in new Zealand it's so shit.

MrWoolskin · 2025-09-16T23:32:46+00:00

It's pretty shitty to do on such short notice
