FIFA 21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X: improvements and free update
We start with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. The new generation consoles, which will arrive in Christmas 2020, will receive a free update to FIFA 21 if we already have purchased the game on the current Sony and Microsoft platforms. It will be a “Double Version”, so we will only pay once to play this new installment as long as they are part of the same family. Thus, if we buy FIFA 21 on PS4 before FIFA 22 goes on sale, we will have FIFA 21 on PS5 completely free and with improvements.
“Get FIFA 21 or Madden NFL 21 on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One before the release of FIFA 22 and Madden NFL 22, and upgrade your game to the next-generation equivalent console (Xbox Series X or PlayStation 5) at no additional cost.” These are the improvements of FIFA 21 in the next gen:
- DualSense controller haptic feedback (on PS5)
- Ultra-fast load times thanks to the SSD
- Delayed lighting and rendering
- Redesigned Player Bodies
- Spatialized audio
- Statistics-based player movements
- Climate loyalty taken care of in detail
FIFA 21 on Nintendo Switch: Legacy Edition
The edition of FIFA 21 for Nintendo Switch will be Legacy Edition, as was also FIFA 20 and FIFA 19. Thus, it will be an updated version of FIFA 18, the original of this console, only with updated templates, menus and others. data. There will be no game modes such as VOLTA or El Camino, which are traditionally in the rest of the platforms. FIFA 21 on Nintendo Switch is defined as “an improved staging” (new menus and improvements in the graphic aspect), with “the latest equipment and updated equipment, but without new game modes or innovations in its mechanics.”
