FIFA 21 — PS4 & PS5 Games
Game overview
FIFA returns with new ways to play and team up with friends on the street and in the stadium.
Win as one in EA SPORTS™ FIFA 21, powered by Frostbite™. Whether it’s on the streets or in the stadium, FIFA 21 has more ways to play than ever before — including the UEFA Champions League and CONMEBOL Libertadores.
Gameplay
Get rewarded for your creativity both on and off the ball in the most intelligent FIFA gameplay to date.
Agile Dribbling
Explode past defenders with new Agile Dribbling. Faster footwork gives you more control and responsiveness in one-on-one situations, while new skill moves leave defenders in the dust.
Positioning Personality
Positioning Personality raises the importance of positional awareness. World-class forwards remain level with the last defender to stay onside, playmakers hunt for space to operate between the lines, while the best defenders will close down passing lanes more effectively.
Creative Runs
Creative Runs give you new options for influencing your team’s movement off the ball, revolutionising attacking build-up play and providing more ways to break down the defence.
Fundamentals of Football
Informed by feedback from the community, revisions to the Fundamentals of Football in FIFA raise the game throughout the pitch, with manual headers, more balanced blocking, more intelligent passing, and increased responsiveness giving you more control on and off the ball.
Career Mode
Manage every moment of your team’s journey to the top with new depth in matches, transfers, and training.
Interactive Match Sim
Experience a new way to play out your season with Interactive Match Sim. Jump in and out of matches to influence the course of the action, or take charge of key moments including penalties and free kicks to change match outcomes.
Player development
Manage your players’ development in greater detail with a revamped growth system. Turn right backs into right wingers, defensive midfielders into centre backs and more, as well as monitoring player attribute changes during training to see how your squad is progressing.
Match sharpness
Get more insight into your squad’s performance with match sharpness, a new attribute that indicates how likely your players are to perform in the most crucial moments. Increase your players’ sharpness with an Active Training System that gives you the ability to set up group training sessions to improve your squad.
Activity management
Plan your team’s training schedule with a new activity management system. Decide when to train and when to rest during the week as you balance your players’ sharpness with morale and fitness.
Enhanced opposition AI
Enhanced opposition AI means opponents approach games with greater intelligence. New systems create more informed AI decision-making in marking, tackling, passing and dribbling to present you with more challenges during each match.
New ways to sign players
FIFA 21 Career Mode enhances transfer realism by providing both human and AI-controlled teams with new ways to sign players. Make Loan to Buy offers with optional or mandatory future transfer fees to secure new talent for your team, and respond to AI manager-initiated player swap proposals to master the transfer market.
PS5™ features
- Stunning visuals: Enhanced player likenesses*, stadium lighting, atmospheres, pre-match cinematics, and big goal moments bring you a next level matchday experience.
- Adaptive triggers: Feel the effects of fatigue and the battle for possession with increased trigger resistance as stamina decreases, and as players jostle for the ball.
- Haptic feedback: Sense the impact of shots, passes, and tackles with immersive controller haptics that let you feel the rhythm of the game in your hands.

FIFA 21 dual entitlement guide: how to switch to PS5 or Xbox Series X for free
When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works.
(Image credit: EA)
A new feature called FIFA 21 dual entitlement means there’s no need to fork out for two copies of the same football game when planning a next-gen kickabout. Already own FIFA 21 on PS4 or Xbox One? Then you’re sorted for PS5 or Xbox Series X too. How does it all work, and what data carries over in the switch between machines? All is explained in GR’s FIFA 21 dual entitlement guide.
How does FIFA 21 dual entitlement work?
(Image credit: EA)
FIFA 21 dual entitlement is a new introduction to the series this year, pertaining to its switch from Gen-4 to Gen-5 consoles. Essentially, it means that by buying the game on PS4 or Xbox One, you’re also buying it on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
From Friday 4 December, placing a PS4 FIFA 21 disc into the PS5 enables you to download the digital next-gen edition free of charge. Similarly, placing the Xbox One version of FIFA 21 into an Xbox Series X will unlock the next-gen version as a digital download.
What if my next-gen console doesn’t have a disc drive?
Owners of the PS5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series S are still able to claim the free upgrade, but it requires a little more groundwork. Specifically, you need to get in touch with EA.
“You will need to contact EA support at help.ea.com to validate your purchase using your EA account information to receive your free upgrade,” says the game’s publisher.
How much is FIFA 21 dual entitlement?
FIFA 21 dual entitlement is completely free, so long as you’ve already purchased the game on PS4 or Xbox One, or do so any time between now and the release of FIFA 22.
What data transfers with FIFA 21 dual entitlement?
(Image credit: EA)
Your Ultimate Team and Volta data all ports over to the newer format automatically. Controversially, however, career mode saves are locked to each specific console generation.
“In all reality, [considering] the cost in terms of time to port career mode saves to Gen-5… we had to make a choice on how to invest that time in an annual cycle, and we felt it was better spent making new career mode features for both generations,” explains executive producer Aaron McHardy. “We put a whole lot into career mode this year. Ultimate Team and Volta are server-based modes, making it a lot more in our control for those modes to progress across either generation. We had to make a tough call on what to trade off, with regards to time.”
Similarly, online seasons, co-op seasons and Pro Clubs progress cannot be switched between consoles.
Do I lose my data on the old format?
No. In fact you can switch back and forth from PS5 to PS4, or Xbox Series X to Xbox One, and back as many times as you wish. However, you cannot switch between PlayStation and Microsoft consoles. The Nintendo Switch and PC versions of FIFA 21 do not have any dual entitlement functionality.
How long does FIFA 21 dual entitlement last?
FIFA 21 dual entitlement lasts until the release date of FIFA 22, likely in late September 2021.

I’m GamesRadar’s sports editor, and obsessed with NFL, WWE, MLB, AEW, and occasionally things that don’t have a three-letter acronym – such as Chvrches, Bill Bryson, and Streets Of Rage 4. (All the Streets Of Rage games, actually.) Even after three decades I still have a soft spot for Euro Boss on the Amstrad CPC 464+.

DualSense™ PS5™ Controller Haptic Feedback
From desperate goalie saves to beautiful crossbar goals, the new DualSense PlayStation®5 controller delivers a new gaming experience with rich tactile feedback. Fully reflective of what’s happening in the match, haptic controller feedback allows you to feel the effect of shots, passes and tackles, immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the game and feel the rhythm of the match.
Physics of player interaction
Enhanced physical player interaction on the field allows you to use our Real Player Motion (RPMT) technology in the fight for the ball. Feel the improved physics of the power struggle of players in the fight for the ball and during the drawing of set pieces — wrestling, pushing and restricting the movements of opponents have become as manageable as possible.
Sounds and entertainment
FIFA 21 current version and version for next generation consoles features thousands of real fan chants from the world’s top tournaments — the English Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga — to create a truly unrivaled EA SPORTS audio experience in the sports simulation genre.

New level of realism
New level of player realism — New level of technology allows you to rethink the physics of the players. Now you can see the movement of the muscles after the ball is kicked and the movement of football superstars’ elaborate hairstyles thanks to Frostbite™ technology in time with the movements of the players, and the clothes and faces of the players look even more believable, so the movement of the world’s best football players takes the game to a new level of realism.
Ball touch animation
New gameplay technology improves the quality and responsiveness of ball animations, creating natural and realistic player movement. Now players make touches as in life, without mechanical robotic movements.
Natural behavior of players
From tired 89-minute sock pull-ups to pass-to-play yells, the natural behavior of off-ball players creates realistic context and reveals the human side of football players, allowing you to experience all the emotions of top-level football.

GameCam
A new top-level football footage camera lets you view every match from a different angle. You’ll be able to see more of the field to better plan attacks and block passing trajectories, as well as see in real time how fans of the home and away teams react to the events of the match.
LiveLight Image Processing
From Anfield to the Parc des Princes, from the Etihad to the Bernabeu, a new deferred lighting system creates an ultra-realistic football atmosphere. From highly detailed pitch surfaces, stadium materials and weather conditions to sideline substitutes, stewards and fans in the stands, the world’s premier game has been visually enhanced in FIFA 21.
Pre-match broadcasts
New pre-match videos convey the sound and picture of professional football, immersing you in the unique atmosphere of the game. Watch the team buses arrive at the stadium, feel the excitement of the fans as they pass through the turnstiles, and watch the players walk through the interview areas before entering the pitch.
Important goals
Some goals matter more than others. With the new situational reactions of players, substitutes and spectators to the events in the match, you can feel the excitement of dramatic last-minute winners in the UEFA Champions League or fighting draws that allow you to win the fight for survival.

Disgusting absurdity. Wanted: Dead review
Wanted: Dead is the worst game released in the last 10 years and, at the same time, a satirical statement. But it is impossible to understand what idea the developers put into the project — this is a terrible product that is tritely unpleasant and hard to play.

Postponements, rumors of problems in the studio, lawsuits with copyright holders, press screenings around the globe — these events attracted the audience to Atomic Heart. The iXBT.Games editors were among the publications that were allowed to feel the project in its full form, go through the game from start to finish and see what the five-year period was spent on at the Mundfish studio. Spoiler: the result blew our minds — Russian developers have never done this before. And hardly anyone will do it in the future.
Silent protagonist: laziness or a way to get involved?
Silent protagonists have always been a part of video game storytelling. They can be found in shooters, horror, platformers and even strategies. While some characters could comment on what was happening, others preferred to act, leaving conversations to secondary characters. How does the silence of the protagonist affect the gameplay and how does this affect the atmosphere? Let’s find out!
