The release date for the FIFA 22 May Prime Gaming Pack (Pack 8) remains unknown, with the free pack still not available to claim.
In partnership with EA Sports, Amazon's Prime Gaming brand provides Prime subscribers with one free pack per month in FIFA 22. The rewards for May would’ve been the eighth free set of rewards released by Prime Gaming in FIFA 22, with their collaboration with EA having been ever-present since 2019.
The May instalment (Pack 8) was originally expected to become available in the week commencing May 23, 2022, and after a week of no free rewards and no communication from either EA or Prime Gaming, FIFA 22 players were left confused. But, Prime Gaming finally issued a statement on the delay on June 2, 2022, but with little detail as to what’s causing the delay.
