EA Sports announced today that they will officially be bringing both FIFA 21 and Madden NFL 21 over to both next-gen consoles. The move was kind of expected as people had already chimed in that it was a likelihood, especially since EA as a company isn't going to miss out on two new consoles having two of their top sports titles in the mix. What's more, as you might suspect, if you bought the game on a current-gen console and upgrade to the next system, the upgrade will be free for the game. Provided you stay within whatever console brand you chose. Here's more info on the announcement below, along with a quote from the company.
