    Consoles will receive this Base Game update at a later date.

    Temporary Console Gallery Changes: March 17 Base Game Update | EA Forums - 13228791

    When the Marketplace launches on PC and Mac on March 17, 2026, Kits will become exclusively available in the in-game Marketplace. Any Kits you already own will remain in your library and ready to play. For console players, this change will happen when the Marketplace arrives on your platform, and we’ll share updates ahead of time.

    Kits will still be available on the Xbox/PS stores up until the Marketplace launches for console.

  • Are consoles getting a base game update tomorrow? I know the new marketplace maker space isn't coming to console for a while yet but wasn't sure if if the whole update tomorrow was just for PC and Mac 🙂

    Also I was wondering about the Kits situation on console, with kits being moved to the maker space on PC will they still be available to purchase on the PlayStation store after tomorrow or will they become unavailable until the maker space implementation update is released on console? 🤔 

  • Thank you for the reminder. I was supposed to have a dr's appointment that morning, but thankfully (and after this is the third time it happened) they changed it to the end of the month. This gives me time to advance the story and still be able to back things up. Yay.
