Last week's FIFA 21 announcement focused on the flashy next-gen version of the game, which was to be expected. However, if EA's own FIFA 21 FAQ is accurate, it appears that the PC version will be based on the PS4 and Xbox One versions.

"The PC version of FIFA 21 will be the same version as the one released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One," the FAQ says (via Eurogamer)." We will provide more information in the coming weeks."

The next-gen features announced last week include "delayed lighting and rendering," which will apparently allow for an "ultra-realistic soccer experience and player fidelity." The game will also reportedly improve player animations, allowing for "stat-based player movement," and support for the DualSense 5 haptic feedback feature has also been confirmed.

In other words, last week's trailer was a showcase for the next-gen console version of FIFA 21, not the PC version; since the PC version will be released on October 6 alongside the PS4 and Xbox One versions, perhaps the patch will coincide with the arrival of the next-gen version, which does not yet have a confirmed release date. will probably be distributed.

Let's hope so. It would be a shame if some of the advanced features are missing from the PC version, even if they are only accessible to users with high-end specs. It is well known that there were no improvements (it took until 2018 for the PC version to lift the game). That did not bode well for the game.

In any case, I have asked EA for clarification and will update if I hear back.
