EA has officially announced a launch date for EA Sports FC 24 which is set to be the 29th of September. Several football and FIFA fans are eagerly waiting to get their hands on the new game, as it marks the beginning of a new era where EA Sports is rebranding its football simulation games as EA Sports FC, diverging from the traditional FIFA name. On the 13th of July, EA Sports released a gameplay trailer that showcased a catalog of features that will be present in FC 24, amongst which was the “Founder Status”.
How to Become an FC Founder in EA Sports FC 24
The main reason behind EA’s announcement of Founders Status is to celebrate the fans who are supporting the franchise as it embarks on a new era. According to EA’s Press Release, gamers who access and play the full game before the 1st of November will be credited with an honorary FC Founder Status which unlocks several rewards and benefits.
Players will be given an exclusive FC Founder badge and a kit for Ultimate Team mode. EA also claimed that the FC Founders will gain access to exclusive benefits for EA Sports FC 24 and beyond. At the time of writing this article, EA has not elaborated on these rewards. Regardless, players can expect to receive a few in-game rewards at the very least.
Players can avail this offer across various devices like Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and on PC via Steam, EA Play, and the Epic Games Store. As long as you have access to the full game and play on a single EA account across these aforementioned Platforms, you can become an FC Founder.
If you consider yourself a hardcore FIFA fan, then you should contemplate purchasing the EA Sports FC 24 Ultimate Edition which will allow you to play the game on the 22nd of September rather than the 29th September launch date for the Standard Edition. Apart from receiving a week of early access, you will also receive several in-game rewards like 4600 FC Points, TOTW 1 Ultimate Team Player item, access to Nike Ultimate Team Campaign along with a kit for the same. Doing so will ensure that you achieve the FC Founder Status earlier than most players.
