EA has confirmed that FIFA 21 is coming in October this year and it will launch on current-generation consoles before coming to the next-generation at a slightly later date. Despite the worldwide disruption caused by coronavirus, the next instalment of FIFA will be released on PS4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC on October 9 2020, only slightly later than its usual September slot.

PS5 and Xbox Series X support will come when those respective consoles are released and EA has confirmed free upgrades for those who buy FIFA 21 for current-gen consoles before upgrading. EA hasn't gone into a great deal of detail when it comes to the nitty gritty of playing FIFA 21 just yet—we're expecting more on that front later this summer—but, thanks to EA Play, we've now seen the game in action on next-gen hardware so at the very least we know there are some visual improvements headed our way.

The release of FIFA 21 will occur around the same time that next-generation consoles PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, so the expectation is that the game will be better on those new consoles. Along with Madden NFL 21, FIFA 21 showcases EA Sports' new 'Next Level' updates. These include a variety of graphical and gameplay developments, including new features that are only available in the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game.

Controller haptics are a new addition in FIFA 21 on PS5, thanks to the console's DualSense controller, which allows you to "feel the rhythm of the game in your hands" and respond to shots, passes and tackles through the controller. Deferred rendering and lightning will add to the realism of the game, with stadiums looking more like their real-life counterparts, while player physiques have been improved to look and feel more natural.

In addition, spatialised audio improves in-game sound effects, while there has been improvements in off-ball humanisation so that players react more realistically during games. EA Sports has also promised the fastest load times ever for FIFA 21, meaning players will not have to wait as long to begin a match when they boot up the game.
