The Early Access trial of FIFA 22 is available later today for anyone with an EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.
All achievements and progress are saved during these 10 hours, meaning if players decide to buy the game after the trial period ends they will be able to carry on where they left off.
FIFA 22 will be released on October 1 forPS5,PS4,Xbox Series X/S,Xbox One, PC andStadia.
Anew gameplay trailerreleased in July showed off some of the new features added to the game, including the new machine learning-based player animations, improved tactical AI and overhauled goalkeeper performance.
FIFA 22 will make use of what EA is calling HyperMotion technology, which uses machine learning to create bespoke player animations on the fly.
“A cutting-edge proprietary machine learning algorithm learns from over 8.7 million frames of advanced match capture, then writes new animations in real time to create organic football realism across a variety of interactions on the pitch,” EA claims.
