A week-long free trial of EA Sports FC 25 is coming to Switch soon

The Switch version of EA Sports FC 25 will soon be free to play for a week-long period.

EA‘s football game is the latest Switch title coming to Nintendo‘s Game Trial programme, where games are made available to play for free for a limited time on Nintendo Switch Online.

From February 24 to March 2, Switch Online subscribers will be able to download EA Sports FC 25 and play it for free.

As opposed to a demo, where players are given a smaller part of the game to try out, Nintendo’s Game Trials give players access to the full game without restrictions.

Once the trial period runs out the game will no longer be playable, but those who decide they enjoyed it enough to buy it from the eShop will be able to continue with their previously saved data.

EA’s football series recently turned a corner on Switch, after years of Nintendo players complaining that they were feeling short-changed.

The first Switch edition, FIFA 18, was missing a lot of features present in the Xbox One and PS4 versions, and essentially played like the Legacy versions on Xbox 360 and PS3.

The subsequent five entries, from FIFA 19 to FIFA 23, were identical in terms of gameplay and modes, with the main changes being new rosters, kits and menu music.

This changed with the release of EA Sports FC 24, which finally gave Switch owners full feature parity with the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions of the game.

EA Sports FC 25 did the same, meaning the new 5v5 Rush mode introduced in this year’s game is present on the Switch, as it is on other current-gen fomats.
