Do you need to pay for EAFC 24 online services on PC?
Click to enlargeNo, EAFC 24 online services are completely free to use if you're playing on PC. This is a luxury that PC players are used to at this point, and that doesn't change with EAFC 24 either.
So, if you do own the game on PC then you’re just good to go - there is nothing else to worry about. However, it is worth noting the PC version of the game does use a different marketplace in Ultimate Team than the other versions of the game - so you won’t be able to interact with console players if you’re on PC.
That is everything you need to know about whether you'll need PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live to play EAFC 24 when it releases soon.
