EA Sports FC 24 already surpassed FIFA 23

It's been barely a few weeks since EA Sports FC 24 was released and EA Sports is already boasting about its good numbers. According to the publisher, the game has gathered over 11.3 million players in the first week after it was released. While the number is impressive, what's really relevant is that it's about a million more players than FIFA 23 during the same period, placing the new game significantly ahead of the best title in the old series by a good margin. Likewise, the new free-to-play version of EA Sports FC 24 for mobile devices would be on par with the other versions, with over 11.2 million downloads since it is available.

Whether those numbers can translate directly on sales or not is a different matter, as they include EA Play subscribers, who technically have access to the game for "free" as part of the service. In any case, EA Sports is more than willing to claim that its football simulation game is still at the top of the genre despite an obvious change in its format forced by a lack of agreement with FIFA to continue exploiting its name in EA Sports FC 24.

Long live the King

In any case, EA Sports FC 24 continues to be the king of the genre, especially since Konami turned Pro-Evolution Soccer into eFootball and pretty much disappeared from the radar as a free-to-play game. Although there are other simulators that aspire to challenge EA Sports' creation, most of the time they offer an experience that is not as complete or delve into different aspects of the game, like Football Manager 2024, which offers you a unique experience when it comes to the management of a football club. Still, EA Sports 2024's biggest asset continues to be the same as FIFA's: Ultimate Team. Even if the new game allows you to improve your favorite male and female players over time and turn them into real stars, most players still opt to include the highest-valued players in their teams, which makes the market of FC Points as lively as ever.

Nothing is stopping EA Sports FC 24 from being the beginning of a new series that will last for many years. If you are not playing one of the best football simulators already you should visit our comparator and get a cheap EA Sports FC 24 digital code as soon as possible.
