EA Sports FC 27 will be released in three editions—Standard, Ultimate and the new Ultimate Plus—rather than the usual two. The Ultimate Plus version is aimed at players heavily invested in Ultimate Team, offering more in-game currency and season passes, but its $149.99 price makes it a significant additional commitment.

The Standard Edition costs $69.99 and includes the full game plus pre-order and career-mode bonuses. The $99.99 Ultimate Edition adds up to seven days’ early access, a premium Season 1 pass and 6,000 FC Points over three months; Ultimate Plus costs a further $50, adds 4,000 more points over five months, premium passes for Seasons 1–5 and extra Ultimate Team items. The article considers Ultimate Plus potentially worthwhile only for players who would otherwise buy these extras separately.
