Just a couple of days ago, EA announced that it would support next-generation free updates for some games that will ship on Xbox One / PS4 and Xbox Series X / PS5. However, unlike Microsoft’s smart delivery system, EA will do things differently, which means there is a catch.
Madden NFL 21 is one of those games that EA has confirmed for a free next-gen update. However, it will not be part of Xbox Smart Delivery, which grants updates at any time. Instead, the EA update will only be for those who buy the game before and also to update the consoles soon after.
Here are the terms and conditions for EA’s next-generation game update: “To receive the offer, players must purchase Madden NFL 21 on Xbox One by December 31, 2020 and upgrade to Xbox Series X by December 31, 2020. March 2021 “.
It’s not a bad deal yet, but it’s not as generous as it seemed at first glance. Fortunately, many other major publishers participate in Xbox Smart Delivery, so a number of games will be updated when you’re ready to make the leap to a newer console.
KitGuru says: I remember a similar system existed for Battlefield 4 and Destiny when Xbox One and PS4 were released. We can see that Activision takes a similar approach to EA for new games that will be released towards the end of the year.
Become a pattern!
