The trial, limited to a gameplay of 10 hours, is available for all players on Xbox, PlayStation, and PC. Interestingly, the benefits of the trial start earlier than the full launch. In fact, you can start playing from the early access launch with the trial. Let’s find out how to download the trial version on your preferred platform.

Early access begins at midnight local time on consoles. Make sure you either have an EA Play subscription on PlayStation or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on your Xbox.

  • On the PlayStation store, go to EA FC 25‘s store page.
  • You’ll have the option to download the ‘Game Trial,’ along with the ability to select an available edition for full purchase.
  • On your Xbox store, search for the game. The first search result will require you to choose an edition.
  • Click on it to go to the game’s store page, but don’t choose an edition. Instead, select ‘Game Trial,’ and the download will begin.

Sometimes, the trial version doesn’t show up on the store page. If that’s the case, go to Subscriptions from inside the Store and then EA Play. The trial should be available in this section (but do note that this will only happen if the method mentioned above doesn’t work).
