Some things in life are inevitable and, for better or worse, a new EA Sports FC game is one of them. The blockbuster footie franchise release has been an almost annual tradition for almost 30 years now but the games, previously known as FIFA until a tiff over licensing forced a rebrand last year, remain defiantly popular.
Last year’s imaginatively titled EA Sports FC 24 sold over 2 million copies in the UK while the biggest selling album, Taylor Swift’s rerecorded 1989, shifted just shy of 300k.
