It says on my PC that i have access to the game at 9am on the 19th. but my friend on the ea app on PC says he can play at 10 pm on the 18th. why is that? i have preordered and he hasn't, If i but ea play pro will i be able to play earlier?
mine says released on the 19th im pc user have pre ordered aswell is this because im from uk
Brother can we get a reply to this jesus **bleep**ing christ. It is still saying for some people that pre-ordered the ultimate edition that they can't start playing the game until 11 hours after the 12AM new zealand time. what is going on? why are we not getting the same start time as everyone else despite paying the most? EA play members are able to get on at 12AM new zealand time. Why can't we?
says the same for me
so why it say to me i can play only in 2am on septmber 19tn
Since no one is answering this forum i contacted a live chat agent and the response that i got is the game on pc will release on the 19th at 12 am in new Zeeland time so you need to do the math for your country and that should be the time that you can access it for me its 3pm on the 18th in Greece time. The ea agent told me that is most likely a visual bug that is going around and we should be good to play in the time that it actually releases and if not to contact them.
the only issue is the live chat guys are just outsourced customer service from india and generally don't know how the game works of has any direct contact with EA. So they may say this, but i would take it with a grain of salt as well.
Don’t worry, I’ve been playing on PC for years, and this same visual bug shows up every year. You’ll always be able to play as soon as EA says the game is released. Steam just shows the release date for the Standard Edition and never updates to reflect that you have the Ultimate Edition. The store page also doesn’t update until right before launch. So no need to stress - you’ll be able to play EA FC 26 at midnight New Zealand time, which is 1 PM BST!
defiantly a visual bug, it showed me 18th a couple days back and now 19th 4:30 am, if you do notice standard edition still shows 25th instead of 26th
Community ManagerWe’ve received many questions regarding the release times for the early access. As these times vary by region, we’ve prepared a detailed list to help clarify when the game will be available in your area so you can prepare.
Pity such a late change of schedule, was excited to play already tomorrow in europe with PC Ultimate Edition 😢
