EA FC 24 PS4 & PS5 Comparison: Graphics, Features, Prices & More

The end of the cooperation between EA Sports and FIFA is official. The successor to FIFA 23 is called "FC 24" or "Electronic Arts Sports Football Club Twenty-Four," as we say here in the EarlyGame office. Except for the name and some minor changes, the game is pretty much the same.

However, much like in FIFA, considerable differences exist between console generations. We'll help determine if it's worthwhile to upgrade from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, and explain how the two versions vary.

Comparison: The PS4 And PS5 Versions Of EA Sports FC 24

The most significant difference lies in the consoles themselves. The PS4 lacks the advanced capabilities of the PS5, which can harness entirely distinct technologies. This difference is directly noticeable in the game.

Nevertheless, there is also a substantial price gap between the consoles. If you only play a few hours each month, a PS5 purchase may not be necessary.

There are no longer any shortages, and the PS5 is available everywhere, for example at Amazon .

Now let's get to the ultimate EA FC 24 comparison between the PS4 and PS5:

The prices are dynamic and can change at any time, and the price can also vary from provider to provider. However, the consoles are in this price range. The prices provided are for the "regular" PS4 (not the Pro version) and the PS5 with a drive.

But did you expect the PS4 to still cost $300? Quite expensive for a console that has been around for a decade... Then the $550 for a PS5 don't seem so overpriced.

By the way, the PS4 and PS5 have the same FUT transfer market. However, if you want to snipe a player on the PS4, you have a disadvantage due to the loading times.

So, which version is better? Our answer is quite clear: the PlayStation 5. Even though the game and console are slightly more expensive, the extra cost is worth it for the better gameplay and faster loading times. Now, let's delve into a detailed comparison of the versions.

EA FC 24 will be available for the PS4. You can either buy or pre-order the Standard or Ultimate Edition. The pre-order bonuses are also the same as for the PS5. The price of the standard edition will be $79.99, making the PS4 version the same price as the PS5 version.

However, PS4 owners also have to do without some things. That was already the case in FIFA 23, and we were really disappointed with EA. The game stuttered, sometimes froze, and was generally extremely sluggish.

Creating a dream squad in Ultimate Team was unfortunately not fun at all, as navigating through the menus felt like FIFA 09 at times. That was definitely different on the PlayStation 5 because the menu ran smoothly, and the waiting times were limited.

The gameplay of FIFA 23 on the PS4 version was okay, although it couldn't be compared to the gameplay on the PS5 at all. And it will be mostly the same this year, as there will be hardly any changes or upgrades in terms of gameplay as you have to do without Hypermotion V, different running styles or the new Playstyles.

The PS5 is the console of the future, incorporating various new technologies like Hypermotion V. The gameplay is completely different because the old PS4 cannot implement features like AcceleRATE 2.0 or the new Playstyles.

In general, the PS5 has much shorter loading times, it's not loud, and the game simply looks much better. The PS5 is connected via crossplay with the Xbox Series X/S and PC, giving you more options to connect with friends.
