Double Version: pay once on PlayStation and Xbox
Let’s start with the main thing, what is Double Version? According to EA, when we have a PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X starting this Christmas, we will be able to use our previously purchased copy of FIFA 21 on PS4 or Xbox One to play on the new machines at no additional cost of any kind. So be simple. There are nuances, but there is no catch, believe us. We continue.
Conditions: how, until when and transfer of content
Many of you who are reading this will see yourself on the stage of having a copy of FIFA 21 for PS4 / Xbox One from September, you will advance in your favorite game modes and you will have a progress already started. There is good news: all the progress and content we get in FIFA 21 Ultimate Team (players, coins, FIFA Point, articles, match results, rankings) and progress in VOLTA will be migrated. That is, it will be transferred from PS4 to PS5 and from Xbox One to Xbox Series X.
- What will not transfer? Online seasons, cooperative seasons, Career mode, Pro Clubs, etc., because they will be assigned to each console.
- Until when can I take advantage of Double Version? Until FIFA 22 comes out, presumably around October 2021.
- What if I buy the game in digital format? Are there differences with the physical format? Double Version is compatible with the version of FIFA 21 in physical format and in digital format, interchangeably. Disc is not a problem.

“FIFA 21 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X will have a digital version of the game that you will be able to download when the game is released later this year”, they comment on the official portal “If you buy a physical copy of FIFA 21, you will need to insert the disc on your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X to play FIFA 21 on those consoles. If you want to buy a console without a disk drive, you will have to purchase a digital copy of FIFA 21 to access the double version, since for now physical disks cannot be used to access this second version on consoles without a disk drive ”, they explain.
October 9, FIFA 21 launch worldwide
The versions of FIFA 21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X will be better than those on PS4 and Xbox One, as we explain here. Remarkable, in the new generation we will have ultrafast loading times, haptic feedback of the DualSense controller (in the case of PS5), delayed lighting and rendering, redesigned player bodies, spatialized audio, player movements based on statistics and careful climate fidelity to the detail.
FIFA 21 will launch on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on October 9; October 6 if we reserve any of the editions. On PS5 and Xbox Series X it will when the consoles hit stores at the end of the year.
