EA Sports has made the free PlayStation 5 upgrade for FIFA 21 available right now for most players ahead of its official launch tomorrow. Head on over to the PlayStation Store and you should be able to download the PS5 version if you own a digital copy of the game, or simply insert the PlayStation 4 disc into your system to grab the enhanced edition. The download weighs in at 39.24GB on PS5, which is 6GB smaller than the PS4 version.
Fans have quickly taken to recording footage of the PS5 version, and it has to be said, it looks pretty amazing. The video embedded above shows off a full Champions League match between Liverpool and PSG, and it really does look like the real thing. Except there are fans in attendance, of course. The free PS5 upgrade will stick around until the launch of next year's release and allows next-gen users to matchmake with PS4 players too. All of your FUT players and currencies will carry over as well.
Will you be taking advantage of this upgrade? Share your custom tactics in the comments below.

Must admit, the new camera angle makes a huge difference. Looks like an actual TV broadcast now.
The frostbite hair makes a BIG difference imo, look at how much better Neymar and Messi look!
I have inserted the PS4 disc into my PS5 console but nothing seems to be happening. Anyone know how to start it?
Looks totally unrealistic! Too many fans in the stadium.
Wtf this actually looks good! I'm sad I didn't buy the game while it was on sale
It does look good. But personally I stil hate EA and its scummy microtransactions and loot boxes.
I’m a football fan who hasn’t played FIFA since the PS1. I gotta say, that video makes me want this game...
This actually looks way better than I expected, the new camera angle and models looks fantastic. Klopp’s going to haunt me in my nightmares, that model is creepily realistic.
Close up with some of the animations (especially from the crowd), it looks a bit dodgy to me, but on the pitch, you'd forgive someone for thinking it was real.
I've not played FIFA in a few years but it looks like the player animations haven't changed in that time.
It looks so juddery compared to PES. Theres no real seamlessness to player movement and kicking the ball in physically unrealistic movements.
Don't get me wrong PES isn't perfect but the player movements look much more fluid and life-like.
There was one bit there about 5 mins in the game time where the player manages to kick the ball behind him about 30 yards barely turning. Looked so unnatural.
The animation transitions are far too quick and don't blend particularly well. Yes it will slow the game down in trying to move the ball about a certain way but it's more realistic. It's the one thing that puts me off FIFA..
I tried pes. But shocked about all the missing teams and players. Pes is ps3 amateur quality
Been playing it a bit since this morning. I'm enjoying what they've done with utilising the triggers to show stamina and also ofcourse it just looks better! Actually looks like it could be real life at a glance. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed or not but they seem to have slowed it down a bit as well, ASM for example feels alot slower now.
Those animations though, it looks so wooden.
I thought it was real at first but then Bobby scored a goal.
Love him really.
This was hilarious. Just like real life. Mo having an awful game, first touch on a two on two straight to the oppo, hits the post for a one on one then bang! out of nowhere gets his goal.
Also did you notice when he celebrated by praying his shorts rip and you see his pants underneath his shorts. Thats just weird!
@UboatUK exact same thing happening to me. According to EA on Twitter, they're 'apparently' looking into it.
I know it's a day early but still, trust EA to butcher a release.
Well I have to admit I did buy it just because I wanted to see the ps5 with sports game. Did have a quick blast on it this morning does look good but honestly the actual game is pretty poor imo, keepers are awful, shot = goal 80% of time lol. Don't think I will be buying FIFA for another few years after this, this will do until they do something new with career mode, which I'm guessing will be at least another 2 FIFA's
@Daleaf defending is frustrating
@tjames84 yea defending is really bad too, what gets me is I play with Chelsea, I have Werner who is really fast I go past the defenders then someone who is really slow manages to catch up to him and tackle him it's like really!! It's just a bit annoying tbh. But at least it will do for the next few years lol. Think it's actually one of the worse FIFA and that is saying something lol.had one game online earlier after 29min on clock score was 5-3 to me I scored another soon after and the guy quits lol.
Klopp moves really oddly and weightlessly when you see him after the first goal. There's something odd about it - any realism comes from tech like scanning the players rather than any artistry that can make it all work well, with more weighty and natural animations.
@solocapers preach, brother! PES has always been a better game.
Looks awesome but it plays exactly the same.
Been playing fifa since ps3. If no major gameplay improvements next year, I will won't be buying.
You mentioned that next gen users can play against ps4 users. This is not true. EA stated months back that there will be no crossplay unless it changed?
