For years, EA has been making soccer games under the name FIFA. However, the developer deemed the license too expensive so the game is now called EA Sports FC. You might think that the new name would have a negative impact on the game’s success, but according to EA itself, EA Sports FC 24 actually performs better.
EA has announced how many people have started playing EA Sports FC 24 since its launch. In the first week of the game’s launch from iz, 11.3 million players were reached, one million more than FIFA 23 managed to reach in one week. The gap here is not only about sales, but also players who have tried the game through EA Play.
EA Sports FC Mobile is also doing well. On the first day the game was available, it was downloaded 2.2 times. After a week, the counter reached 11.2 million downloads.
That’s not to say that EA Sports FC 24 is as big or more successful than FIFA 23 on all fronts. For example, it will have to be seen whether the current players continue to play the same as FIFA 23. . The money players spend in the game will also factor into the overall picture.
EA Sports FC 24 sold less than FIFA 23
The high number of EA Sports FC 24 players is somewhat surprising, as initial sales were disappointing. After one weekend, the game had sold 30 per cent fewer physical copies in the UK than FIFA 23. Of course, these figures are out of date and the game was also bought digitally and played via a subscription service. However, a 30 percent drop is something you would think would be reflected in player numbers.
