If you thought Sony had exhausted all possible bundle combinations for its flagship console, PlayStation 5, then you’re in for a major surprise.
After the dramatic fallout with FIFA, Electronic Arts is back in the game with EA Sports FC 24, and if the rumors are anything to go by, Sony’s about to make it a central piece in its next PS5 bundle.
According to the reliable leaker, Billbil-kun, Sony Interactive Entertainment is gearing up to launch not one but two PS5 bundles featuring EA Sports FC 24. What’s more, these bundles are expected to drop in Europe by September 29, perfectly aligned with the game’s release.
Both bundles will feature the game, but one will have the PS5 Standard Edition, and the other will feature the PS5 Digital Edition, which comes without a disc drive. Each bundle will come with a download code for EA Sports FC 24, which means players will not get a physical disc.
To spice up the deal, Sony will be throwing in some extra goodies for Ultimate Team fans. Each bundle will include a Rare Gold Players Pack and three iconic players on loan for five matches. The PS5 Standard Edition bundle is priced at €619.99, while the Digital Edition will set you back €519.99.
The latest leak of player ratings from EA’s upcoming game has caused quite a stir. Arsenal supporters, known for their passionate and sometimes volatile reactions online, have been up in arms over the ratings of players like William Saliba, Bukayo Saka, and Ben White.
As an example, Martin Odegaard, the captain at Emirates, boasts a rating of 87, but a significant number of fans are incensed that he’s rated above young prodigy Saka, who’s sitting at 86.

EA will be hoping that players can get over the fact that its latest installment will not feature the popular FIFA license. Given the franchise’s tendency to bring minimal novelty to each new release, it’s fair to say that EA has its work cut out for it.
Sony’s decision to bundle EA Sports FC 24 with the PS5 will certainly prove advantageous for EA, especially considering the recent surge in PS5 sales.
