EA Sports and Spotify have announced a new partnership designed to allow gamers “a new way to experience music in EA SPORTS FC 25.” With the partnership, gamers can now access their Spotify Premium account within EA Sports FC 25 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Initially being tested across Australia and Saudi Arabia, Spotify Premium integration into EA Sports FC 25 gives players access to a global library that includes music, podcasts and audiobooks, all without having to exit the game.
EA and Spotify said, “Whether you want to enjoy artists you love while building your Ultimate Team lineup or blast your personal victory anthem as you take the win, players can now create the ultimate soundtrack for any moment in FC.”
Spotify in EA Sports FC 25
While playing EA Sports FC 25, players in the test markets — Australia and Saudi Arabia — will be able to log in to their Spotify Premium account via “a new Spotify presence in the horizontal slider of the main menu within the game. From there, the Spotify player can be reached from anywhere in the game, such as Team Selection before a new match, or via the pause menu during in-game action.”
Spotify said of the integration, “This test integration with EA SPORTS forms part of Spotify’s commitment to connecting artists and fans. By integrating Spotify into EA SPORTS FC™ 25, we’re creating new opportunities for artists to share their music and be discovered by a massive audience of passionate gamers.”
