Forum / “is it worth full price?” angle
On gaming forums, a lot of players are debating whether FC 26 is worth the full retail tag, with some saying the Ultimate Edition gave them a full year of play and others recommending waiting for sales like Black Friday when it often drops closer to 40 in local currency.
“I’d wait for a sale, it’s only really worth around £40–£45, not £70” is a common sentiment, especially from players who feel it’s too similar to previous entries.
Discounts and timing
- PC stores like Epic sometimes offer loyalty discounts (for example, owners of FC 25 / FC 24 / FIFA 23 can get a percentage off at checkout).
- Console and PC prices tend to drop significantly during seasonal sales (Black Friday, holiday sales, end-of-season promos).
Bottom line:
If you buy at launch at full price, expect roughly 70 (or your regional
equivalent) for Standard and 100 for Ultimate on PC/PS/Xbox, with Switch a bit
cheaper and sale prices much lower a few months in.
