FIFA 21 Shows Off Next-Gen Upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X

The list of games that are ready for a next-gen upgrade includes mostly action, adventure, FPS, and RPG games. Amidst all of these action-packed games, EA will deliver an upgraded version of FIFA 21 as well. The latest edition of the soccer game is ready to utilize the potential of the next-gen Xbox Series X|S and PS5.

EA Sports recently shared a couple of images on their Twitter account showing off the upgrade. They took these photos from the gameplay footage of the PS5 and Series X|S.

Next-gen FIFA 21 releases on December 4

The developers had earlier confirmed that the next-gen version of FIFA 21 will release on December 4. Therefore, fans will have to wait a while after they can play the game in all its next-gen glory. Moreover, the upgrade to the next-gen version will be free for those who have the current generation.

The images shared contained an in-game model of a couple of players. The players shown were Trent Alexander-Arnold and João Félix. These screenshots clearly show the enhanced lighting and textures which come with the upgrade. Moreover, the graphics of the game are much better than the previous version.

Talking about the upgrade EA earlier said the game will have ‘blazing fast load times, the most realistic, fluid player movement ever in EA Sports titles, authentic game day experiences inside stadiums and new player detail unlocked by deferred rendering and lighting.’

Moreover, speaking specifically about the PS5, EA also mentioned that they will be integrating the DualSense’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers in the gameplay as well!

Not too long ago, Video Games Chronicle did a critical review of FIFA 21. They concluded that the game is ‘easily the least revolutionary [instalment], with no major new modes or features to speak of.’

While the game did receive poor reviews, fans will hope that the upgrade is going to bring about some positive change. If not, the upgrade will not be burning a huge hole in one’s pockets if they already own the previous version. Hence, it’s a win-win situation for all.
