    Hi there, @hull21 

    All versions of FC 24 come with dual entitlement so Xbox Series X and PS5 will also have access to the Xbox One and PS4 versions of the game.

Thanks for the response. But it doesn't say anything about the physical version of the PS5. 

In fact, it says "Be aware though that physical stores also sell PS5-only packaged products which will be playable only on a PlayStation 5 console."

This makes it very concerning for those who pre-ordered the PS5 physical disc, myself included. I'm not sure if it'll allow me to play the PS4 version with some of my friends. 

Would you recommend I order the PS4 physical version instead?

This is from the article I linked:

As you can see, physical versions of the game come with dual entitlement. If you need the physical version of FC 24 for PS4, you'll need to buy that separately since the physical version for PS5 would give you access to download the PS4 version.

    @EA_Aljo okay thank you for the response. I really hope this is the case as I already pre-ordered the PS5 version physically.

    Based on the cover art I've seen, the PS4 version says that the PS5 upgrade is available, but the cover art for the PS5 makes no mention of dual entitlement.

    I just hope I get access to both versions so I can play with some of my friends too.

      @lazynick_111 - did you get a confirmed response/answer to this? Are you able to access the PS4 version of the game after purchasing the PS5 physical edition? All over the forum I haven't seen a confirmed answer to this.

    Hello,

    I have bought EA FC ultimate edition this year which comes with dual entitlement. 

    Firstly, how do I switch to the PS4 version.

    Secondly, if I do switch to the PS4 version, will that mean I can play my friends who are still on Xbox one as it would be the same gen?

    Thanks

      Hello, @Bradderzfifa 

      PS4 can play Xbox One since it's the same console generation. You just need to download the PS4 version to play.

        Hello,

        that’s brilliant, how do I download the PS4 version?

        do I have to wait until the release on 29th?

        thanks
