Xbox One FIFA 21 EAXB17122911 review

FIFA 20 felt like it took some strides forward with new game options, such as the introduction of its subtle FIFA Street successor, VOLTA, and new added modes to the House Rules options, such as Mystery Ball.

FIFA 21 review

Some people think that the only thing that changes with each new FIFA iteration is the kits. Dedicated players know that’s not the case, but there’s more truth to it this year than usual. With new consoles just around the corner, this version of the game was always going to feel like a bit of a stop-gap, and you suspect the bigger changes will come with its next-gen debut. Fortunately, if you buy FIFA 21 now you’ll be able to upgrade for free when that’s available. Of course, not everyone will be forking out for a PS5 or Series X straight away though. If you normally wonder whether you really need to buy the latest version, you won’t miss much by sticking to FIFA 20. For keener players looking to fill the gap between now and next-gen FIFA 21, it’s still the closest you’ll get to living out your dream of Grimsby Town winning the Premier League.
