In the United Kingdom, an "Ultimate Edition" of the game was available at Game and Gamestation stores. A port of the game entitled FIFA Football ( FIFA Soccer in North America) was released as a launch title for the PlayStation Vita.ĭavid Rutter, the line producer for FIFA 12, promised "a revolutionary year for FIFA. It was released in September 2011 on consoles for PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii on handhelds for PlayStation Portable, Nintendo 3DS, Xperia Play, Android and iOS and on computers for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. If you are an existing EA Access or Origin Access subscriber you shouldn't have to do anything to transition, your login should stay the same and all your digital bits and bobs should survive intact.FIFA 12 (titled FIFA Soccer 12 in North America) is a football simulation video game developed by EA Canada and published by Electronic Arts worldwide under the EA Sports label. To avoid confusion going forward the live streamed events will always be referred to as 'EA Play Live' events. If you think you are already familiar with the 'EA Play' word combo, that is because the recent E3 showcases by the games publisher have soemtimes been called EA Play events. Hopefully, EA Access on Steam will be re-Christened EA Play on Steam ahead of its actual launch/availability.

But that was a bit of a confusing announcement as it was basically Origin Access coming to PCs via Steam whilst picking up the console-esque subscription naming. It is still "coming soon," according to the landing page.

Last Tuesday HEXUS reported that EA Access was coming to Steam shortly. Its unconvincing major reason is that the change is "an important step in streamlining our services to ensure that being an EA Play member is the best way to play." Despite the somewhat bogus reasoning, I welcome all tech and gaming companies that simplify the naming of their products and services in a logical manner. Actually, EA takes this chance to assert that there will be more benefits over coming months for all - in the shape of "exclusive in-game challenges and monthly reward drops for members on select titles".ĮA kindly shares its reasoning behind the merging of its console / PC services under the same EA Play branding. If you are an existing subscriber or interested in this service as it stands, don't worry, EA reassures that the existing benefits per subscription level will stay as they are. In summary, EA Access and Origin Access Basic will become EA Play, and Origin Access Premier will change to EA Play Pro. On Friday it announced that EA Access and Origin Access subscription game services will be getting a fresh new name and look starting from tomorrow (Tuesday, 18 th August 2020). EA has decided to tidy up the mess that it has made with its EA/Origin Access branding across consoles and PCs.
