Although FC 25 Coins has just recently been released, it doesn‘t appear as though EA SPORTS is stopping momentum on the franchise anytime soon. EA SPORTS has shared a new job posting on LinkedIn for the position of Game Project Manager, with it mentioning an interesting bit of information about the FC video game.
The discourse around the FC franchise has been riddled with arguments about the video game‘s small changes from each installment as well as the controversial in-game microtransactions, but it appears as though the franchise is still fairing rather well. In a job posting on LinkedIn, EA claimed that EA SPORTS FC is the best-selling video game in the industry.
The job post specifically states: “At the heart of EA SPORTS is the FC franchise. EA SPORTS FC is the world‘s #1 best-selling video game with over 200M engaged players across multiple platforms, including console, PC, and mobile.” With FC 25 just having recently come out, and the huge sales FC has already done in previous installments, it‘s no surprise the video game series has more than 200m engaged players.
The FC video game series has always been a juggernaut for EA, garnering millions of sales with each new game - and that‘s not even including the amount it makes off of microtransactions and subscriptions. Currently, it seems as though EA is looking into changing the name of the FC video game series, so it'll be interesting to see if this has any effect at all on FC 25 Ultimate Teamure sales.
The FC video game franchise has an installment just about every year, so the number of sales for FC is, on one hand, not too surprising. Still, most of that surprise comes from the recently mixed discourse around buy FC Coins. Even though each installment has been garnering fairly decent reviews, at least over on Metacritic, each installment has also been bombarded with negative reviews from the fans.
