Electronic Arts on Sunday announced FIFA 22 will launch for the Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam and Origin, and Google Stadia on October 1. FIFA 22 Legacy Edition will launch for the Nintendo Switch.
The standard edition of FIFA 22 on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, which is priced at $59.99, does not include a free upgrade to the next-generation versions. It priced at $69.99 on the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.
In order to be able to upgrade from the PS4 and Xbox One version of the game to the next-generation version you will need to purchase the $99.99 Ultimate Edition. It includes what EA is calling Dual Entitlement. The Ultimate Edition is only available digitally.
Ultimate Team and Volta progress will carry over from PS4 to PS5 and Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S. Players will be able to switch pack and forth between the two versions of the game. Any progress made in co-op Seasons, Online Seasons, Pro Clubs and Career Mode won’t transfer over.
The Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 versions of the game include the HyperMotion gameplay technology. "HyperMotion integrates advanced full-team mocap data and machine learning to heighten gameplay in every match in FIFA 22, harnessing the power of next generation consoles to deliver the most realistic, responsive and fluid gameplay experience we’ve ever built."

Here we go again. Considering how much money they make on their FUT thing, this game should be free to play. But TBH if I was the EA and knew that I have such huge devoted and brainless customer base that will buy any turd with FIFA logo on it, I would do exactly the same inserts Joker meme
Just wait for gamepass version as the last one with enxt gen upgrade came on gamepass.
Based on this I would seriously recommend that anyone who gets the PS4/X1 version but plans/hopes to upgrade their console in the next year just simply wait for FIFA 23 before upgrading.
The price point for a game that is otherwise backwards compatibility - an extra $40 for a game that retails for only $10 more - is just not worth it.
And thats before you get into gripes about the higher retail price for the Next-Gen version.
