If you have the Ultimate Edition and have EA Play, does that mean it will unlock at 13:00h BST for UK?

The EA App is showing the Ultimate Edition time of 00:00h.

Surely, if you have both, you should get the earlier time? Also bit odd that people with the actual paid ultimate edition are getting shafted by 11 hours.

    I had a chat with EA Support and they said this:
    
    Seems like it will work. The Subscription to EA Play on PS is needed in order to get 10hours of EAFC26 before full release on 19th for Ultimate Edition.

  Did the timer on your ps5 go down? Or did it stay the same? I got ea play just now, but the timer is still saying 24h left...

This is actually crazy how paying for the most expensive edition doesn't get you the game ahead of a small subscription fee which can be cancelled after 10 hours or a month.
