Hi.
I have a question. I've pre-ordered the FIFA 21 from Steam before August 14 to get the Ones-To-Watch player in UT and the other rewards as well. The thing is in the meantime I get the EA Play Pro in origin to play FIFA 20 while I'm waiting for FIFA 21.
I realized that if I have the EA Play Pro I will have the chance to play FIFA 21 next October 1st, my question is: Does it affect the rewards and the stuff that I should be receiving by pre-ordering the FIFA 21 on Steam?
Regards

Hi @TaurustarDrakest,
Pre-Ordering on Steam won't effect the content you receive on Origin and vice versa.Update: If you purchased the game on Origin and Steam both games will share the same club. I apologize for the earlier inaccuracy.
Hi @EA_Cade Thanks for the reply. Is good to hear that, the thing is what about the exclusive content that I should receive because I preordered the FIFA before August 14th. I will receive it after October 6th or since October 1st? Or it doesn't affect it at all and I will have 2 copies of FIFA not related each other?? (if that's the case I should ask why then Steam asks for Origin to play FIFA 21)
