In what might come as a huge surprise to many EA FC fans, EA Sports has teamed up with Spotify to bring the most famous music app in the world to EA FC 25, providing players with a "new kind of audio experience".
This partnership is already in force, and players from Australia and Saudi Arabia were chosen to test this new feature. The feature will be available for Spotify Premium users from those two countries, who play on either PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X|S.
EA Sports and Spotify Partnership Aims to Deliver a Unique Audio Experience
The partnership between video game giants EA Sports and music behemoth Spotify will bring the app to EA FC 25. It will allow users to use the app in-game, making it possible for users to listen to their favorite songs, podcasts, and audiobooks.
In a statement addressing this historic partnership, Spotify clarified that the goal of the partnership is to:
It's certainly a feature that makes using Spotify more convenient for console players. Fans will be able to enjoy their favorite songs, playlists, and even curate EA FC specific playlists. Players who feel like listening to their preferred podcast while playing EA FC 25 can also do so.
As mentioned above, the feature is still currently in the testing phase and is only available for users in Australia and Saudi Arabia. However, it will launch worldwide soon, likely before the release of EA FC 26.
How to Access Spotify in EA FC 25
If you reside in Australia or Saudi Arabia, here are the steps you need to follow to access Spotify in EA FC 25:
- Players in Australia and Saudi Arabia will be invited to log in to their Spotify Premium accounts via a new Spotify presence in the main horizontal slider of the main menu within the game.
- From there, the Spotify player can be reached from anywhere in the game, including via the set-up menu for a new match or via the pause menu during in-game action.
- Players also have the option to change their default audio from commentary to Spotify. Once Spotify has been selected, players will be presented with an on-screen display of the current track, which will reappear each time a new track is introduced. Tracks can be skipped or selected at any point via the pause menu.
- Certain music is not currently available in this experience—users can go to the Spotify app to access our full library.
