EA immediately claimed that FC 24 Coins the leak was not true, but EA has always maintained microtransactions in its sports games whether for good or bad. With EA Sports FC 24's launch date set, EA took the time to publish a Q&A on its website regarding the subject of dual entitlement. Although most companies have accepted free upgrades to the latest versions of their games however, it appears that EA's sports games aren't following in the footsteps of other companies.
In the EA Sports' website, the company has dedicated a whole page for answering questions regarding the latest console updates A.K.A. Dual Entitlement. After explaining the concept behind Dual Entitlement is, EA starts explaining how it works. from the beginning it states that "Dual Entitlement is available only when you purchase the EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition. This is because the Standard Edition of EA Sports FC 24 doesn't include the Dual Entitlement." In case there's any doubt after reading the statement, EA then proceeds to in a very clear manner that "if you buy EA Sports FC 24 Standard Edition on PS4 and then upgrade to PS5 later, you will require a PS5 version in order to play."
To give you a sense of context, EA Sports FC 24's Ultimate Edition is available to pre-order at $99.99 USD ($89.99 USD for those who already have the EA Play subscription), in contrast, Standard Edition is available for purchase at Standard Edition is going for $69.99 USD.

The announcement also states that EA Sports FC 24 is yet to feature crossplay.
As we've said, EA is no stranger to making decisions that some would describe as "greedy," but something about placing a console upgrade behind a paywall makes it feel more outrageous. It's true that both the Xbox Series X/S as well as PlayStation 5 PlayStation 5 will still be less than a year older when EA Sports FC 24 releases (not by much for the Xbox however) Many are unable to obtain their favorite console thanks to a lack of stock and scalpers. This kind of move this early in the console's era is bound to be considered an anti-consumer move by many people, and the move does appear to be EA Sports trying to get as many EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Editions sales as they can.
The newest soccer simulation from EA, EA Sports Cheap FIFA 24 Coins. has been revealed and it appears like EA is putting its new technology to use for the latest version of FIFA that will open the door to a lot of potential in the football franchise. While it's unlikely EA Sports FC 24 will be a huge advancement for the brand, it seems like EA is attempting to utilize the latest technology to make more progress with the game and to improve the game's gameplay.
