FIFA 21: New versions for PS5 and Xbox Series X coming in December

There is new information about the next-gen versions of FIFA 21 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. EA Sports reveals a date and more details.

Next month, the next-gen consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S will be released.

• The PS5 will be released on November 19 in Germany (in some other markets already on November 12). 
• The Xbox Series X will be released worldwide on November 10. 

These consoles are expected to receive their own improved versions of FIFA 21. And now we know when that will be.

When will the next-gen versions of FIFA 21 be released? In a tweet, EA Sports has now announced that the next-gen versions of FIFA 21 will be released on December 4 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Interestingly, until the release of the next-gen versions, players can first play the old versions (PS4 and Xbox One) on the next-gen consoles.
