Announced during a recent earnings call Electronic Art’s COO, Blake Jorgensen, has confirmed in a recent earnings call that the publisher’s upcoming games can be upgraded to next-gen consoles for free.
With the Xbox Series X and PS5 launching later in the year – at a presumably higher cost than its predecessors, and less units being available at launch – EA will be releasing its upcoming games with cross-gen capabilities that will allow players to purchase a game on current-gen consoles and play it while they wait to get their hands on a next-gen console.
Once they’ve got their new consoles sorted, they will be able to port the game over from their existing machines to the new one for free.
