EA FC 24 Steam Release Time
If you bought the game on Steam and are waiting for the EA FC 24 release, it’s scheduled for 4 a.m. BST on Friday in the UK and 11 p.m. EDT / 8 p.m. PDT on Thursday. Sometimes, Steam releases games early, so it’s a good idea to check around midnight your local time, just in case.
EA FC 24 Preload
You can get the game early on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. If you do this, you can download most of the game already. This means you won’t have to wait long when it’s time to play.
The size of the download will be different, ranging from 41 to 45 GB, so make sure you have enough storage space. Unfortunately, there won’t be an early download option for Nintendo Switch. However, the game will need at least 31 GB of space on the console.
